I am struck by the similarity of the photo that Gazania posted and several i took this week. The birds enjoyed the berries on the holly and left lots of little berry packages on the newly fallen snow. I thought the birds were robins because they have a red breast, but now that I see Gazania's photo I am not so sure. What do you think mourning dove, robin, or other?

Black cats...... Here's one at a horse show my wife was riding in back in October. and here's a different one that showed up at the lake cabin we rented back in July. The previous renters left a couple of cans of tuna with a note saying to give it to the cat.

DH built a double set of stairs off our deck. (The set to the left could be made into a wheelchair ramp or a ramp for a disabled pet? at a later date, if needed. )

It's amazing, ElizabethA...supposed to be the world's largest floating crane constructing the bridge...it made it through the panama canal.
