Here in our own "back yard"...We have the most amazing sights, cold flaky starlet nights, Day time is crystal clear like icy blue gem stone's a magical ice blue sight... that other countries do not have.
The snow, horror frost, ice lakes, sun dogs, icicle's, one 's own breath frozen into space, frosty designs frozen onto windows pane's, snow ball fight's while hiding behind snow igloo's, hills of white fluff to sled down, exciting down hill skiing, dreamy cross country skiing... as one could possibly see the great snowy owl or the white fox, or Mr. jack rabbit himself, with his huge white feet running across the very field one is skiing upon. How many countries can boast racing around on motored sled's (snow mobiles) on the snow and ice?

Below are some snap shots of our home.... I and Mr. B awoke one moring to this wonderful white seen........
The gate that leads to our door was covered in frost.
Every small detail perfectly covered with icy crystal's.
On the other side of the gate, the snow made a perfect privacy vial, Mr.B. was standing on the other side when I took this shot.
Our outside bell was also delightfully covered
My grandchildren ate watermelon on this bench just a few months ago after a swim in the back yard pool.
Remember the little apple tree Mr.B planted last spring? Here she is, with her little apples covered in frost.
Only God could decorate Christmas tree's so perfectly! 
The trees and banks are also laced with frost...we said to each other that the sight of an eagle could only complete this wonderful seen, and guess what we saw in the bush across the river???
A mature bald eagle
I and Mr. B will have to do a written count ( for they are all accounted for) but a rough guess would be about about 80+ eagles in the past 5 1/2 years...When we first met, we started to see these great creatures, in such great numbers and some very unusual ways.Eg; Right above us in the middle of the city on Jublie St. in the winter, or like the one right next door to us at the corner park in the city we walked up to it really close! Some folks are beginning to wonder what I and Mr. B have been wondering all along???
Than you Lord for putting the most beautiful final touch on this magnificent day...you truly are a great God

I had so much fun sewing this up for my grandaughter that I will be working on the next item very soon!
I put on a bit of lace and a pink pink bow...there must be a way to tie up a bow nicely???
Bylla is just a wee bit shy:)

Our favorite eagle picture matches the room so well....the only problem is the size of bed! We fairly "slim" built folks thought we could sleep well with a medium sized bed...not! Now after all that work of putting our room together, we are agian on the look out for another bed...a queen four poster, maybe a slay bed would do well???
