This morning, a beautiful Northern Harrier came by and sat on our garden fence for a while.
The colder weather seems to have brought it closer to the birds in our garden.
Sensitive to the slightest movement, it flew off just after I had taken these pictures.
Two nights ago we had an ice storm: all night long we could here the ice falling against the siding and windows, and, in the morning, they were covered with a sheet of ice.
Tomorrow, the year turns.

Last night and today, we have been blessed with a spectacular full moon!
Hanging over our fields and home it has been a beautiful sight.
Once again, I am reminded of the astonishing balance between light and darkness...
between horizon and zenith:
Here at the turning point of the year, this brightness blesses everything.
