Christmas Hawk
Along with a replacement faucet so I have hot water in the kitchen...handy that, and installed with the help of a huge Sawzall, which was not dull....and a handmade basket from my dad....spectacular that....and other fine and interesting things, including the socks that are keeping my feet warm even as we speak....
I got a hawk for Christmas. I was at the sink and looked out the window...a window over the sink is one of my favorite things in the world...and there he was. Or she as the case may be. I hurried out quietly and grabbed a few pics and then he flew.
My first thought was sharp-shinned hawk, then I started second guessing myself, so I put him up on the FB bird ID group, where it was decided that he is indeed a sharpie. So, to whomever sends hawks for Christmas.....thanks.....

I love a Christmas like that! Family, hot water, birds, beautiful handmade basket, cozy socks. Yep, we're simple women. No fancy jewelry for us. :)
Dani, exactly! Who wants a diamond when they can have a doggy or a new faucet after heating water on the stove for a week? lol
