Beauty No. 19

We have started a Youtube chanel! I got a ukulele for Christams and I am still learning, but my husband plays very well. Here is one of our first videos!


I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
'There is no peace on earth, ' I said
'For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.'

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.'

Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Little baby Snow Leopard Wednesday!
 
Today in Münster it is snowing, a lot. So I thought a good animal for today would be the snow leopard.
 
Here are some facts about the snow leopard:
Their feet act as natural snowshoes.
They can jump as far as 50 feet in one jump.
They can kill an animal three times their weight.
Sadly, there are only a recorded 6,000 left on the planet.

LITTLE BABY PIGLET WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Considering that tomorrow is Thanksgiving I thought it only natural that our little baby animal for this Wednesday should be a little piglet! And if you eat pork on Thanksgiving, you might not want to read this post because you will probably feel some pains of guilt while eating your honey glazed ham!
I hope these little baby piglets make your Wednesday even better! My favorite one is the last one!





 
 


Here are some short videos of little piggies to distract you from what you should be doing!
