Thanks Kalanna! I love being able to watch to see what stops by the feeders out back. Yes, lots of Cardinals, both male & female, and they bring such joy when they visit!

I thought of you yesterday on my way to work. I was walking in the middle of yet another blizzard. The snow was coming down pretty heavily and it looked beautiful. As I turned the corner, I heard a "chirping" sound, looked up to see Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal flying from one branch to the next.

No camera with me, and not quick enough anyway, but I thought of my dear friend, Jo, the bird whisperer, who captures such lovely pics.

I started to compose a poem in my head as I walked to work, but poetry isn't my thing.
I was trying to think of something to say about the cardinal the bird and link it the season of Lent. I may still "write" something and share it with you even if it is bad poetry.

Enjoy the new snow! I don't even have to shovel much because the wind has created big snow drifts and blew it off the sidewalk.

Brenda, you are just so sweet! Sounds like a pretty sight you were Blessed to see! Write your poem, I'd love to read it!

We've been nailed here by this storm, more than a foot & counting! We're pooped!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) UPDATED! This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...
