Merry Christmas to you too Ruthie and to all those that you love.
Merry Christmas Ruthie's Mom!!
That's a sweet picture! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I loved this photo - perfect for Christmas eve - a reminder of our feathered angel friends! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Ruthie and family!
Great shot considering you were holding a capfull of worms and the chickadee and trying to snap at the same time!
Merry Christmas Ruthie and Mr J. Don't worry about our birds, they are well fed and watered.
Mine are well fed and watered, too.
Merry Christmas, Ruthie and Mr. Johnson!
Since it's Christmas Eve, I will not deliver a virtual punch of jealousy (you know what I mean). :o)
Hugs,
Mare
Awwww... Merry Christmas to you and yours too Ruthie.
What a sweet picture!! Such a sweet little bird.
Merry Christmas Ruth.
¡Feliz Navidad para ti, querida Ruthie!
I wish for you and your dear ones only the best in life.
Blessings for you all!
Kisses,
Mel
Great photo! I've got to try hand feeding chickadees again-It's a lot of fun when they do land on you.-Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas from a new visitor - found you through Mary's View and am entranced by your knitting, your attitude, and ability to smile in the face of massive cold and snow! You've already given me ideas for using several drawers full of yarn. Thanks and Happy New Year!
What a great pic! I love chickadees, and I'd love to have one(s) come to my hand. Merry Christmas! I love visiting your blog.
Thanks everyone for your Christmas wishes. I hope your holiday was wonderful too.
This is so cool! Not sure I have the patience for this one.
Merry Christmas to you as well.
