We got this pretty gift from some friends.
There was a lot of snow this past weekend. I noticed flocks of birds in the trees and husband M said they were eating the elderberries from the shrubs in our side yard. Those shrubs had seeded themselves over the years and I was happy that the birds could find some nourishment from them in the cold, snowy weather.
The days have started getting longer now that the winter solstice has passed. This is a good thing.

Love the red and green together. Happy Winter Solstice.
I'm glad the days are getting longer because it's hard to see the vegetables at the early morning farmer's market here. Hmmm... I shall need to look up elderberries. I'm not sure what they look like.
Lovely gift. Have a great Christmas, hugs, Valerie
I am always surprised when I hear about birds still living in Canada and other cold climates.
It'll be nice for the days to start getting a little longer again. 4PM is way too soon for it to get dark.
I guess they all don't fly south.
Although I know it's going to be cold for a long time it's refreshing to think that there's a little more sunshine each day.
Great minds think alike, re the days getting longer! :)
Nice gift. Merry Christmas. Have a nice time
Such a pretty gift.
I LOVE that the days our getting longer. That is a great thing.
Don't red and green go well together.
I love watching the birds eating berries, so nice that there are plants available for them to eat on during the winter months.
Yes ... the days will start to get longer, Yippee!
Happy Christmas Wishes to you and yours
All the best Jan
I really hate short days

Merry Christmas to you :)
I love this. It's such a pretty winter painting.
We have so many birds who love berries@ I'm happy to see them all!
What a lovely looking present. I'm glad your birds have the berries in your yard.
I haven't noticed any length in the days yet, but soon, maybe by February. It' dark and rainy here today.
