I love that there are wild animals nearby, but that you stay safe with the dogs. I just love border collies, and am so glad Champ found a good home with you two and that he is content now and knows he's safe. As you remember I am sure, we always wanted to retire to the country and be at the base of some mountain in rolling hills, preferably in western Va. Of course, you also know that did not happen. Your neighbors need to free-range their chickens within a huge pen, or they won't have any left! I hope you had an amazing Christmas! And that your new year will be very blessed. We were blessed with some snow last night! :-) Literally--in-town snow! I remember when I was a child, in Maryland, when Mom & Dad would tell us to look outside and we would see the first snowfall and be so thrilled. Lots of great memories. I will be 63 tomorrow. My how time passes by! :-)A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-24249329287204250502014-12-31T04:33:06.722-08:002014-12-31T04:33:06.722-08:00Champ looks like such a happy dog now!Champ looks like such a happy dog now!Magali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-31889967616019832322014-12-30T22:01:35.245-08:002014-12-30T22:01:35.245-08:00As always a stunning post.

It is 81 and feels like it is 89. It does not feel like winter at all down here in s.e. FL.<br /><br />I'm a new follower of yours and am looking forward to reading your posts and seeing the beauty that surrounds you inside and out.<br /><br />FlowerLady<br /><br />FlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-10962038896339629212014-12-30T08:42:49.263-08:002014-12-30T08:42:49.263-08:00I just love the grounds around which you live.

Senses are heightened to hear every whisper in the wind when the world is so quiet. I love that...and especially on a starry night.<br /><br />I too am always wary in my area and respecting nature. I have had many a bear through our back hill as well as many other critters. I often can't wait to see who will come visit next. We did have a troublesome coyote for the past several months that kept coming to visit our doggie Ruby in attempts to lure her away. But a neighbor has thankfully trapped it so my Ruby can be more free to run around again.<br /><br />I just love coming to visit you and all you share of your world dear Karen! Blessings to you in the New Year. xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-86699842375311496262014-12-30T08:12:31.162-08:002014-12-30T08:12:31.162-08:00Oh Karen, it is a beautiful world and you certainl...Oh Karen, it is a beautiful world and you certainly live in a wonderful part of it! I'd be wary too, if I lived in the mountains surrounded by woods. At least you know the warning signs of the creatures around you. Champ is so fortunate to have you for his family. One of our son's dogs is a black lab/border collie cross and I can see a lot of the collie personality in him. He's such a gentle dog now at age 7. I wish you all the best in the coming year. Blessings.

I like a set day for that chore. I take as much time carefully boxing things up as I like, and there's lots of hot tea consumed and the Christmas CDs are played one last time. I always enjoy your walks around your beautiful home! I don't blame you for making a quick exit when the dogs and raven are alert to something unseen in the woods. I hope they always come safely back to you. Enjoy your quiet day!

I loved coming along with you in your garden today Karen! That garden gate is just perfect! And the amount of birds in your space is just so awesome! It sure does feel rather mild this winter in Chicago as well. Some days almost felt like spring which always troubles me a bit as we need the cold weather to keep our trees healthy here. You always wow me with your photos buddy! Such a treat! Wishing you a lovely New Years!

Beautiful views from your home, although it looks nothing like winter as I know it. :-) I'll keep our tree up at least through the 6th, maybe longer. Until yesterday, we had had 19 consecutive gray days. The sunshine is so welcome, and if it stays, I'll take down the tree sooner.

We didn't have bears where we use to live, but oddly a bear on the outskirts of the big city made it to the news last week. We had mountain lions, bob cats, and coyotes.
