"Joy" at Last!

Joy, originally uploaded by ivoryblushroses.

I've finally got a picture of "Joy" for you! This is going out to Jacque in New Zealand! I wanted this to be sparkly and joyful, the bird flying up for joy!

Today the Christmas decorations are being put away. Mollie Kitter doesn't seem to be very happy about! She's been sitting amidst all the decorations all afternoon and watching me intently. I must admit that it seems like the decorations just went up and now they are coming down. But it will be nice to have a freshly clean and a less cluttered home for the month of January!
