The statue in the deer picture I took this morning has a little story behind it:
Savannah Bird Girl Statue
Sylvia Shaw Judson unknowingly created the ‘Midnight’ icon
This is the woman who sculpted the statue that was bought by the family who put it in the graveyard that attracted the photographer who snapped the picture that was put on the book that became a best-seller.
Such is the unlikely story of Sylvia Shaw Judson, the artist who created Bird Girl. The daughter of an architect and a writer, Judson was born in 1897 and raised in Lake Forest, Ill.
She was an artist from early on and, though little known now outside of the Chicago area, an artist of some note in her day. Before she died in 1978, Judson saw her work exhibited in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and in New York's Whitney Museum of Modern Art.
Bird Girl was produced in 1938 as a garden statue. Knowing that mass production reduced the value of art, Judson had only three copies produced. One sits in a forest preserve near Lake Forest, another belongs to a family in Lake Forest, and the third was purchased by Lucy Boyd Trosdal of Savannah.
Trosdal, who called the statue ‘’Little Wendy,’’ put it at the family gravesite in Bonaventure Cemetery. It stood in solitude for 50 years before Jack Leigh photographed it for the cover of ‘’Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.’’

Comparing Life to a Mountain
"Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that
causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in
your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain."

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place
My First Tree!
This single, spindly, solitary tree has been taunting me for days
Silently tempting me to use any of a dozen unique and clever ways
Of scaling this daunting challenge that casts such a wide and pleasant shadow
That needs to be taken advantage of before it has a chance to grow
Much taller as delicately attractive branches dip and sway invitingly
While offering an easily reachable perch from which I can see
My Pretty One's garden, wide flawless yards and damply glistening hills
All deftly achieved with aid of a naive, yet unbending iron will
I delight at the view as the scent of tiny flowers entice deliciously
While pondering how to get down from my very first conquered Tree!

What a gorgeous music room!
Did get to see the Rockettes on Saturday after driving over the mountains in the snow. They had a beautiful Nativity Scene at the end that made it all worth it.
To: Billie
Billie, Thank you for sharing Susan's music.
A special thank you for the beautiful graphics to accompany her lovely voice.
I look forward to featuring her music again after the holidays.
I have much to do today, so I will be gone until later this afternoon.
Have a beautiful day!
Thank you again.
I wanted to see if I could still make it snow. :^)

And you did make it snow, Amy! I was awfully proud of mine this morning. I think I understand more now as Billie can set me straight. She makes it where I can understand it.
