It's going on 6AM and as I sit here typing this post, all I can hear is the wind howling outside. Temperatures are unseasonably warm and are to reach into the 60's today and 50's yet tomorrow before dropping back to more normal for this time of the year.
The snow that you see in the following pictures is all gone having fallen victim to the warmer than usual temps that descended the last few days and the rain that is also coming down.
All I can say is that it's strange going out without a coat at this time of the year.
My walking buddies and I are not walking this morning because of the rain but the wind would also be a concern.
I'm all but back to normal after my mishap, not so for Mr P who continues to struggle with his recouperation. Time will be his healer but patience is not a virtue that he possesses much of unless it means sitting and watching a hockey game on TV.
It's been a busy month with preparations for Christmas taking precedence. Today some final cookie baking will be done and the gathering and wrapping of gifts for the family.
The fabric below has become two large dog bone sized placemats for my granddogs, Kirby and Betty. Yesterday's nice weather (no rain but warm) gave me the perfect opportunity to continue work on something else for them. I'll share photos after the holiday since I don't want OnlyDaughter to show them the blog and spoil their surprise.
There is a family in our area that begins decorating their home with thousands of lights and other lit Christmas decorations beginning at Thanksgiving each year. The family picks a charity and any donations that are collected from those who stop to walk through the display are given to the selected charity.
Most of the pictures that were taken ended up just too dark to share but this one shows some of the lit displays that are all over their property and how some of the house is decorated. Can't imagine what their electric bill is for this time of the year!
I hope everyone everywhere has a joyous and safe holiday.
