I’m very fond of long walks, and at Christmas time I love to spend some quiet reflective time in the woods or fields near my home on the Pacific northwest coast. The brisk late autumn air, the quiet under the trees, and the peace and solitude are a haven during the busiest time of the year. I usually don’t see many birds on these winter walks, but one little creature that seems to often share these winter walks with me is the chickadee! It’s little black head, bright eyes, and sweetly busy fluttering wings are dear to my heart. This cute ornament is derived from the Heirloom Christmas Sampler, features a little chickadee pearched on a pine bough, framed with white lace and little pink or red roses! Merry Christmas to you all! Thea
