What's outside of your picture window today?

@rosemarya, and all...Looks like a postcard. Thanks for sharing your colors. I don't have much but shades of green, lots of flowers still blooming, and normal stuff for us. I miss the beauty you see out your window. But, not enough to share the winter weather. It's been lovely here this week, in the '60-'70s, with low humidity and no rain for several days. I actually want it to rain so I don't have to water my plants and lawn. Can't be happy, I guess...
I've missed all you friends. Not getting any messages anymore Hope it's not because no one loves me now, Something happened a few days ago and I don't get anything from Mayo Connect, not the daily digest or your messages or nuttin'...I feel lonely. Sent a message to Colleen, so all will be ok soon. She's such a doll.
Spending more time downstairs now, feeling stronger every day. I've lost some of my feathered visitors since Sept when I had surgery. I haven't been able to keep up the feeders as well, but now have everything clean and full of goodies. I got safflower seed for the first time. So far, no one is eating it~ why? I hope someone, finches or chic-a-dees or whatever. I think squirrels don't like safflower...But, today I had cardinals, chic-a-dees, doves, squirrels of course, no woodys, not many cardinals, no finch, etc. Will they come home or did I insult them???????
Wishing you all lots of blessings. elizabeth

@ess77. Hey, Elizabeth, we're all still here for you. Please don't feel sad. 😔
I've been working like a fiend with downsizing my apartment to fit into my one tiny room at Long Term Care. Not much time for posting to Connect! I read my Digest religiously every morning though, "Like" what I can, and respond to a few that tug at my heartstrings at the time.
I'm so glad you're feeling stronger lately and getting downstairs to your critter feeders. You're so fortunate to see all that wildlife.
My province of British Columbia in Canada is in a state of emergency right now. Up to 200 mm of rain in 24 hours in many areas, flooding, all major highways closed due to landslides, thousands of farm animals have drowned, over 15,000 chickens gone, farm fields have turned into lakes, with breakers. So far, one human death and four people missing. Over 300 stranded people heli-rescued. Where I live on Vancouver Island we're completely cut off from the rest of Canada because all highways are washed out. We're so fortunate in my town because although we've had an awful downpour of rain, and some basements and crawl spaces flooded, no major roads out, etc. BC has had more rain in 30 hours than we usually get for all of November. which is our wettest month. Tragedy everywhere. Homes lost, farms lost.
Gotta go for now, Elizabeth. Keep on that good progressive road you're on. Take care. Laurie ❤

Elizabeth, oh my goodness, how are you not getting messages from Connect? That’s like being cut off from oxygen! We are all family here so it’s important we stay, well, “connected”!
I’m happy to hear you’re feeling stronger each day after the past year you’ve had. It’s about time you get a break!
Don’t fret, once the birds discover the safflower seeds, they’ll be regulars! My cardinals loved ‘em! Someone in our condo building up a few floors must feed the birds from their balcony. Everything morning I have to close my patio door because we have little birds come calling! They fly right into my living room to the coffee table and the right back out! They’re not afraid so I’m assuming they think this is pretty familiar!! 😵💫
I hope you have a delightful day!! Sending a huge hug.
