A Tale from the Snowstorm
...this pair of mourning doves.
They sat together, right outside of our living room front window.
(the perfect place for me to stay cozy inside and take pictures
of the outdoor action)
We first noticed the pair sitting outside the window before 9 o'clock that morning.
The doves continued to stay as the thick snow landed on their backs.
Occasionally they would shake cold, white fluffiness off their necks.
This one particular birdie did not seem to mind that is was quite literally
being buried in the snow.
I felt sorry for it, since it must have been so cold.
The snow kept piling up... and covering this poor dove.
The second bird moved about a bit more.
For at least 5 hours, these birdies endured the cold, wet snow
building up around them. I returned to the window at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, to check on them again.
The two mourning doves had left...
leaving an empty spot in the fresh snow
and a sad place in my heart.

Sharing Our Bookshelves {February 2011}
Today starts a brand new month. Today also begins something new for you. I've been wanting to introduce this for a while now, and I am quite excited to finally launch it. Hope you all will enjoy the ride with me!
"Sharing Our Bookshelves" is a new way for us book readers and aspiring writers to get to know each other a little better, to find new friends, and to discover book-ish blogs that are already out there, waiting to be found.
Who enjoys being able to share with other people about books, by writing reviews?
How many books have you read in the last month? (or week?)
Do you like sharing about your current story, novel, or poem that you're writing?
Please do feel free to raise your hand, or say 'Aye!' to any of these questions.
For those reasons (and more) I want to introduce "Sharing Our Bookshelves". So that we can browse each other's bookshelves... and find out more about each other!
So how does this work? It is so simple, but I hope we'll learn a lot through it. Every month, there will be a new post on "In the Bookcase" with a fresh linky sign-up in it. I want to encourage anyone who has posted on their blogs about anything book-related to come join the linky list and connect your blog post. Myself and many of my blog readers would love to see what other people are posting about.
No matter what day you write up a book-related blog post, there should always be a linky here waiting for you to joing, since a new one begins every month and stretches to the last day of the month (and then a new one will start the next day). You're welcome to leave multiple links to your blog posts throughout the course of a month as well. What do you need to join?--Any blog post about what you think that other book readers and aspiring writers would be interested in (this could be a post you already planned out, or something along the lines of the questions mentioned above. If you have any questions, just drop me a line.
I'm sure that we all will enjoy coming over to the list of blogs and be able to "browse" through everyone else's "bookshelves"...
A link back to my blog (from your post) is always appreciated. Blog buttons are also available for the taking.
Click here to get the code for one of the buttons.
...{Final instructions are below}...
I am looking forward to seeing what you link up!
