Birds seek a dry warm roost, so turn your birdhouse into a cozy, comfy home. My converted bluebird house hosted two Carolina wrens last night after the snow stopped. Build it and they will come!

Red puffy feathers
Grace the flakes that fall softly

Try roasting chestnuts over an open fire. Rinse and score the shells, then put the nuts in a cast iron frying pan flat side down. If you have a fireplace or campfire going, move things around so there is a bed of glowing coals upon which the pan can rest. Place the pan on the coals for about 5 minutes. Enjoy!

“I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.” – Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau was born on July 12, 1817, in Concord, Massachusetts. He began writing nature poetry in the 1840s, with poet Ralph Waldo Emerson as a mentor and friend. In 1845 he began his famous two-year stay on Walden Pond, which he wrote about in his master work, Walden or Life in the Woods.
