🌕

Look at that moon!

A waxing gibbous moon is in the sky when darkness falls. It lights up the early evening. It appears more than half lighted, but less than full. A waxing gibbous moon comes between first quarter moon and full moon

We are staying at our Son’s place In Gardiner until the closing on our new house. Of course I’ve been putting nuts and seeds on the patio railing to feed the birds and squirrels ( keeping Trixie our dog happy). Hundreds of Grackles were flocking(I believe it’s called a plague) and decided they too wanted some treats. It was quite a sight and when the took to flight so did Trixie! 🐾 🐶

‘A Tea Party on the Lawn’ ~ Louis Wain

“Louis Wain was one of the most popular commercial illustrators in the history of England. Born in 1860, his anthropomorphic portrayals of cats captured the imagination of the Edwardian era and his work helped to elevate the profile and popularity of our feline friends to unprecedented heights. Before Wain, cats in England were often thought of with contempt but his work humanised them and helped to show them as something to be liked, admired and even loved.”

📯🌱📯legend has it that each berry plucked from the #mistletoe meant a kiss would be granted. That called for an abundance of mistletoe during the holidays so that the kissing would continue. This tradition was handed down by the English, and continues to thrive.
