It's December!

After we got all that snow, it warmed up and all melted. Good! While it's nice to watch snow fall, and snow can look lovely, the reality of snow is something else!  Fortunately, as retirees, we don't have to venture out in the snow. So after it snowed we stayed home. And because of the wind and drifting snow, we did finally have to get the snow blower out and blow off the driveway. And then we enjoyed the rest of the snow melting. And we have been having mild (for November) days but cold nights. The other day we had a beautiful frost. I generally am the one to go out in the morning to get the paper that is delivered curbside. The frost on the shrubs was so lovely I went inside to get my camera. One of these pictures will be my new screen saver.

This is such a pretty evergreen and tipped with frost it's really lovely!

And now that it's December, all the pumpkins have been put away and Christmas and winter things are out. We have decided to not put up all the trees this year. We are limiting it to easy to assemble or already assembled trees. There are many holiday touches around the house but no big display. Easier to do but still festive. Are you ready for the holidays?
