Day 355 - 25th December 2017 - Fox Sparrow, Junco and Grandmother's Journal

Merry Christmas Everyone! So finally the day has arrived. Quiet in this house, as usual I'm up too early. Wind is blowing, the stars that twinkled in the sky last night have disappeared. We had a good day yesterday, delivered our gifts to family (I'm lost one but the recipient knows I'm searching), took a run to the Industrial Park looking for birds, dropped off my cakes, picked up milk and then headed home. Larry took the opportunity to put some more wood in the basement as it was fine. I puttered around and then curled up and read for a bit. Larry did up creamed lobster for our anniversary supper - so very good. Usually we go out to visit on Christmas Eve but decided to stay in last night. Hopefully the weather will hold up and we will join our family at Mom & Dad's later today. One weather site says snow turning to freezing rain to rain, the other just says rain. So guess the easiest way to figure this all out is to look out the window when the daylight comes.
Grandmother's Journal: 
24th December 1977 - Very mild. I drove to town. Stopped for tea with the girls. Bob, Bobbie and Mike came down later.  Had a nice Xmas Eve with our family.
25th December 1977 - Lots of nice Xmas presents. Spent the night Xmas Eve at Bobbie & Betties. Bob, Mike and Bobbie went to MC for most of the day. When they came home we had Xmas Dinner. After dinner Bob & I came home. Stopped at Barb & Judy's, got home about 10:30. Real nasty storm - high winds, heavy rain and lightening. Very mild and warm. I am very tired tonight. Very high winds and rain overnight. Had a real nice Xmas.
Fox Sparrow at the Industrial Park. Lots of Robins, a Northern Flicker, Juncos, Chickadees, Goldfinches.
