Winter Gifts Day 90

Do bunny feet get cold when they go
hippity hoppity through the snow?

Winter Gifts Day 84

It was a slow-moving day, but I managed to move myself out the door and into the last crazy-early-spring day to enjoy the warmth before winter comes back tomorrow.



Winter Gifts Day 83

It was noisy outside this morning! Geese, sandhill cranes, chickadees, woodpeckers, and so many more. And the mud was really pretty.

Winter Gifts Day 82

About the only thing that can get me outside on a chilly, rainy day is the sight of birds getting more active as winter starts to fade away. Today there was a large rafter of wild turkeys on the mushy frozen lake. The camera focused on the trees instead of the birds, but you get the idea. The photos only show about half the number of turkeys that were there.

Winter Gifts Day 81

Feather at sunset

Such a sleepy day with a mild flare-up of shingles, but I saw great friends at church and brunch, took a long nap, and then made it outside to wander and enjoy the beauty! My shadows have been so quiet lately and for that I am grateful.

Winter Gifts Day 80

It's February and I was outside barefoot! And my feet got a little cold, but not frozen. Hurray!


Winter Gifts Day 79

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a walk and I'm so thankful for a friend who came to walk with me. We were so busy talking, I forgot to take a photo. 

Later I tried a new technique with colored pencils in my heART therapy journal. Friends, walking, and art--the best ways to keep my shadows at peace.

Winter Gifts Day 72

Way up there looks like a nice place to be—but I am afraid of heights so I'll let the birds and squirrels enjoy it for me.

Winter Gifts Day 71

Another went-outside-but-didn't-take-a-photo day, so I'm sharing heART therapy. Today I started a drawing for friends going on a mission trip soon. I will be filling it with prayers and color!

Winter Gifts Days 69-70

Beautiful blue evening sky
adorned with a bright moon



I stepped outside today and then stepped right back in because it was so cold.
Sweating to the oldies was less painful.

Took a road trip to see Vincent Van Gogh's view of outside.
What a delightful day!

Winter Gifts Day 63

I forgot to take a picture when I was outside today so here is a happy drawing in my anti-depression sketch book (part of my heART therapy) that I finished today.
