Thanks are due.

I have recently received from readers some digital books for my Kindle.  Thanks to SS, JK, MKF, SC, KBM, CS.  Some of these books have been helpful in making my 5 minute daily podcasts during Advent.  Thanks also for items sent from my wishlist.

I also want to thank every who has bought Mystic Monk Coffee!  You help me and you help the Wyoming Carmelites and you get good coffee and tea.  What’s wrong with that?

Thanks for buying swag from my online Cafepress store!  Again, I get some of each sale.

Those of you who have used the donation button on the sidebar or who have set up a monthly donation… I am very grateful.  So far December has been slow, but little by little the sum is edging up.  In December I have listed: (UPDATED LIST MOVED TO THE BOTTOM).

As you contemplate your Christmas Shopping List, please come back here to use this search box (or any of my amazon links) to buy your stuff. You help me immensely when you do. Once you have entered amazon through this blog, I get a cut of the sale! Can’t see the box? Perhaps ‘AdBlock’ is on.

Remember: when you think of shopping on amazon, come straight to this blog and then go in.

Finally, a bird feeder report.

I don’t have the ability to set up big feeders any more. Sniff. However, I have stuck a small feeder onto my window. The Chickadees found it instantly. I have also seen Nuthatches, Red-breasted Nuthatches, House Finches, Purple Finches, a Hairy Woodpecker and, to my great delight last night, Mr. And Mrs. Cardinal. Here is Mister:

On the left, you see the webcam.  I have revived the Z-Cam and the music and Latin Rosary stream, now live from the Steam Pipe Trunk Distribution Venue.  There is a chat area at the Z-Cam page, by the way.
