Ruffles, handcrafted out of wood.
Thanks to Mary we are viewing the passing parade on the Lobby shelves.

January Thaw

On on 15th there is still a little snow, but the temperature is up to 40.

A little ice

Beautiful sky

Moss is the only green.

What did this Chickadee find to eat in the woods?

Polar Bears

You didn't know we had polar bears at Foulkeways. They have been residing in "J", and now they are in the display case .

Lobby Art

More of SiLewen's Rhondo is displayed in the Lobby this month. "It is a series of panels that refers to the dance movement in musical compositions. Since the dimension of time is added to the three dimensions of space, serials of this kind are related as much to the at of the cinema as to pictorial art." Quote from the Bulletin.

As you can see from this photo the lighting is not the best.

First Day Bird

Bravo Helen for spotting this great blue heron on the roof of Abington House.

He walked down for a closer look and back up.

We know he was just reconnoitering the fish ponds.

The Year in Review

Here are the nutcrackers on display in the Lobby.
My friend said she spent the New Year, reviewing all the photos on the blog, which is a great way to remember the year just past. I did it and I agree. It also gave me some ideas of things to do in these gloomy winter months when I am anxiously awaiting the rebirth of Spring. Any suggestions from my followers are appreciated.

Happy New Year!

At Foulkeways we enjoy a delicious New Year's Eve dinner, as you can see from the menu .

After dinner all were invited to see the movie "Chicago". Here are the outside lights we see on the way home.
