encapsulated

We had our first storm day snow storm earlier this week followed by freezing rain....

which encapsulated everything it touched

with icy fingers.

Frozen in time....

starting to melt but it didn't get mild enough for the ice to completely melt

At the height of the storm there was a European Starling feeding at the suet cake for quite a while.

So you see the Common Redpoll on the silo?

I hung these on the clothesline so the squirrels wouldn't eat all the seeds.

I am enjoying nature's prettiest this week as I prepare for Christmas.

Tonight our choir is in concert with The Lapointes, a local contemporary Christian group, at The Playhouse in Fredericton.

And, on Sunday evening we have our church's Christmas Music Night featuring the choir and many talented vocalists and musicians.

The Sunset Church Band is preparing an amazing rendition of "O Holy Night" Trans Siberian Orchestra style.  {They like to rock it a bit :)}

Last year they did the TSO "Carol of the Bells".

{Google these to get a taste if you like.  You might even find a grainy video clip on You Tube of our band playing it.  Our band does an awesome job!}

A very busy weekend for us.

Are you attending any musical events this weekend?  It's such a special time of year to get out and enjoy some wonderful talent and celebrate the season.

Have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Pamela
