A white Christmas

Ok, so I'm starting early.  I couldn't pass up not taking pics of the snow.  It was so beautiful.  I decided to post this pic of the snow on the pine.  I liked the way it turned out.  It was taken from inside my house through the sliding glass doors in the kitchen.  I am also posting a pic of one of the cardinals that have been pecking on my kitchen window every morning for over six months.  I have no idea why they continue to fly to my window.  I have looked everywhere to see what might be attracting them.  I first thought that it was just one bird but when I was taking pics of it in the snow, I saw that actually it is two, a male and female.  My nephew looked up the meaning of a cardinal trying to get in and he said that it says that a change is going to happen in 12 hours, days, months or years.  Lord, let's hope that a wonderful change is going to happen next year :)
