Hello dear friends, we recently had about 15 cm of snow which is putting me in the Christmas mood! Of course for many of us Christmas is going to look and feel very differently this year. COVID numbers are increasing alarmingly in our area and we are expecting another shutdown. Still, we are grateful to be healthy here at the farm and will still put up and decorate our trees to celebrate the season.
Here are a few photos I took while looking for my car under the snow.
Our good old garden privvy is nestled in the snow.
A view towards the gazebo from the driveway.
The lantern looks so picturesque topped with snow.
A quick consultation with one of our books confirms that these interesting paw prints are from a fox. What a fascinating smell. Abby is on it!
Once again we didnt manage to get this furniture put away.
I am making a few pomanders using reduced for quick sale mandarin oranges. I use a wooden skewer to poke holes in the fruit, push in cloves, and then roll the sticky juicy mandarin around in a bowl of spices. I am using cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. To help them dry I have them on the heating grate in our main floor bathroom. The house is smelling festive!
My mother still loves crafting! Last year we sat together and made felt owls for our woodland themed Christmas tree. This year COVID is restricting our ability to spend time together but she still enjoys surprise delivery of supplies and is making felt ornaments for my latest themed tree....a Boho tree that will go up in the library!
The living room tree is up and almost finished.
Wishing everyone a safe week and more Christmas trees will be coming soon! Thank you for visiting my little blog.
