Waiting on the Birds
...and waiting ...and waiting. We saw a bunch of birds feeding outside the kitchen window: two kinds of woodpeckers, a nuthatch, some finches, an Eastern bluebird, and the grackles (of course).

Mr. Gordon and I got up early (as our habit) on the 25th, and after some coffee, exchanged our gifts. It was lovely, quiet morning.
