Sounds like a GREAT FIRST DAY of JANUARY 2015 for YOU CHRIS!!! ARE YOU READY? I CERTAINLY AM!!! Love all of the nature photos today especially the BIRDS... I\'m not seeing as many as I am out of seed... SAILING INTO 2015 ON A POSITIVE NOTE IS THE BEST!!!

This and that today on the farm and Bella let me sleep until 6 a.m. this morning! It was perfect with pupz today except for the FREEZING COLD WIND!!! The sun was out, but I was so glad I did not have to go out in that very often!

Love to you and Mom and Dad and everybody in CT!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL!!! xoxoxo Cj

Heh, Mr Nut Squirrel actually looks a bit like Misty - all grey and fluffy with a big puffy tail!! Awww. (Be careful not to give him too much bread, the sugars and preservatives aren\'t part of their natural diet)
I\'m glad you\'ve had such a peaceful and relaxing start to 2015. It\'s great to hear.
It\'s been unbearably hot here, I can\'t stand it.
I need to get my thesis written so I can graduate and move back to England where it\'s nice and cool! (And only a 7 hr flight to New England :))
Sending love and best wishes to you and your wonderful family xxx
