festive
We are at the end of a weekend that for me, was quite productive. I found some new recipes (and made two of them), decorated the house, spent Friday evening with good friends, cut down a tree and decorated it, did some baking and found Levi's Christmas and birthday gifts on-line. On top of that, I had a two and a half hour nap last evening and finally sat down to take care of my photos from the past two weeks. As I write this, that doesn't seem like all that much compared with some people (Pam!) but it is certainly more than I have done on a weekend for a while now.
One thing I have not done is shovel. The snow keeps coming down a little bit at a time so I keep thinking it will go away. Unfortunately, I believe it might be here to stay. I usually love the snow and winter but since I am not skiing this year and my thumb surgery is finally coming close, I think the snow is just going to be a pain in the rear.
Unless it is pretty on a day when I can photograph it!
So here is my quietly festive photo for the week.
I had to go to the Bulk Barn to pick up some spices (oh yeah, I did that too) and I saw these little candies. I had fun with the candy canes last week so I decided to pick up some of the candy and have more fun.
Yesterday we headed out to Hotchkiss Tree Farm to pick our tree for the year. It was snowing lightly in the morning so I woke Levi up (well actually, I just tore him from his ipad and made him get up and dressed) so we could tree hunt in the perfect weather. As you can see from the sky, it was no longer snowing by the time we got out there. It was such a lovely morning anyway and it was sad that we found our tree so quickly. I would have been happy to wander around for much longer.
A note to those of you who put up real trees: don't put up your tree on a Saturday and squeeze lemons on a Sunday. Ouch!!
Hopefully the festive feeling lasts through the crazy busy work week I have coming up.
