Elderberry Shrubs



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.
