A few years ago I actually made ruby crowned kinglet Christmas tree decorations. I forgot about that, they are no doubt decorating trees right now, a lovely thought, thank you! xomo

Very lovely Maureen. I had to look up kinglet first; now I know that they are in the warbler family. Warblers were always so varying in color, but always sweet in their songs. So is this haiku. Thank you.

I thought I was 'seeing things' the first time I saw them. Blinking red polkadots right in front of me. Just spectacular ;))), Thank you Jeff, xomo

I just received a Christmas card with a USPS stamp of a cardinal perched on a fir with snowy-white background. In life, the view can warm your heart, but on a stamp, it just looks bloody cold, so good thing you have words for it! Aloha! Rico

And today it's raining here, if typical is typical it should freeze up to a nice citywide skating rink tomorrow. Send me a palm tree ~x
