A Wintery Christmas

Hello dear friends, it is hard to believe but another Christmas has come and gone.  For so many of us it was a very quiet Christmas.   This year my mother had to celebrate Christmas with the residents of her seniors' home and to keep everyone safe was not able to have visitors or leave to visit family.  We have missed having our little round of pre-Christmas dinners and this year I havent even put up all of our Christmas trees! Our area in now under a full Covid lockdown until the end of January.

Still, we have many things to be grateful for.  Our friends and family are all healthy and well.  Instead of the forecast rain we had almost 25 cm of snow arrive over Christmas creating a beautiful wonderland.  We are more prepared for this lockdown than we were for the original one so our home is stocked with all of the essentials to keep us fed and watered!  We are nestled into our old farmhouse with our pets and I will be working on a new quilt.

Later I will post some of the winter wonderland photos taken during the day but here are some night shots to share with you!



We have a small collection of these deer which are now firmly attached to wooden bases and weighted down with concrete slabs.  The winds have been so strong that the deer and trees have all been toppled several times.


I prepared a little vignette on a cast aluminum bench on our portico deck.  The little bear and plaid blanket are only barely visible!


I havent done a very good job of stringing lights in trees this year.  The tops of the trees were missed!


Even the chicken coop has lights.








 Thank you for stopping to visit and we are wishing a safe and healthy holiday season for everyone!
