A Holiday Card
I would like to send a warm hello and thank you to all of you who make the gardening world a wonderful place. A holiday card from us to all of you, with images from the garden in winter over the years. While I do like and celebrate Christmas, I honor all the holidays this time of the year. My favorite, besides Solstice, is Festivus, of course. If you don't celebrate anything I respect that too, just know you are appreciated by all of us here at Chickadee Gardens.

From our flock to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hannukah, Happy Solstice, Happy Festivus, Happy Boxing Day, Omisoka, Ugly Sweater Day, New Years Day and a happy Thursday.
Tamara, David, Annie, Snix, Diego, Franklin and all the hens and Sweet Pea.
Now to get some sleep.











Lovely as Ever. Merry & Bright. Cheers
ReplyDeleteCheers to you to Miss Patricia! xo
DeleteThe sunrise shots are perfect. I hope you and yours thoroughly enjoy the holiday season, Tamara! I think the cats probably know best how to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you. Yes, the cats have it right. Play with wrapping paper and get the zoomies then nap. All. Day. Long.
DeleteWhat a wonderful set of pictures. The cats definitely have the right idea.
ReplyDeleteCats generally are our masters, dictating nap times especially. Cheers, Gayle!
DeleteJust Thank You! You put so much light and joy into the days when you post your garden photos and comments. Have a wonderful gardening year 2026.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous! Your words warm my heart, I'm so glad you find joy from our garden. Cheers, happy gardening for 2026 to you as well.
DeleteA wonderfully warm post, snow and all. I can hear purring all around.
ReplyDeleteHave a good holiday with your lovely extended family.

Snow and all! And purring. Times four. Happy holidays to you and yours, Chavli!
DeleteOh wow, that first picture! And the last one with Diego all curled up - one of my favorite cat poses. Is Franklin a little cross-eyed? Hope the holidays treated you well. We spent ours on the coast with friends. I am confused how it is suddenly 2026. I had so many plans for the holiday break...
