Winter's Wonderland

Christmas Eve I took Sadie (my latest Little) out to update her archery photos.  While we were getting set up, I was treated to some ducks flushing from the creek.  

Merry Christmas 2016

A Celtic Blessing from our home to yours:

This Christmas may you have…

“Walls for the wind

And a roof for the rain,

And drinks bedside the fire,

Laughter to cheer you,

And those you love near you,

And all that your heart may desire.”

 

 Merry Christmas!!!!

The Setting Moon

Playing on the computer this morning, I happened to glance up out of the window...........

It's Beginning...........

I just have not been in the Christmas spirit this year.  The weather has been SO warm, which I am NOT complaining about, and beautiful, with little to no snow or cool - let alone cold temps, I've just been having a heck of a time getting into the spirit.  We even went to a Christmas party the other night, and though it was fun, a good time and all that.....no coat was necessary until leaving at the end of the night.

This morning as I work in my office, the sun begins to rise, a fresh new world of snow cover is revealed.  OK....I just might be starting to feel the spirit.  

As I went to refresh my coffee cup, I see this sight on the back deck.  Wish I'd gotten the Christmas lights up out there; I think it would have really added to it.
