EARLY MORNING SKIES, et al

 

Gazing out our easterly tv room windows this morning
we were treated to these sights.....↕↕↕↕
Tomorrow the 
Winter Solstice heralds 
the bringing back of the light....

So Welcome after these darker days...

Inside and cozy-ed up...
My grandson, Connor,
and
my granddaughter,
 Cassidy,
enjoying my daughter's 
new fireplace
in her new home...
and......

πŸ‘€can you see? can you see?πŸ‘€
;)))))))))))))))

Libby is  as close to the fire as
she can get on the hearth...

I am wrapping presents this morning--
one of my favorite holiday activities --
I like using wrapping paper instead
of bags--

This year I went with foil papers--love
the shiny sparkle...;)))

This brings back memories of my childhood...
Christmas is such a nostalgic time...
wrapping with love is so much fun...
warms the πŸ’—

My old amaryllis is struggling to
send out some green shoots,
But I am hopeful and trying to
be patient.

My new pink amaryllis I 
got this year is growing a treat!!
I can't wait to see it bloom....

I love all its stages of growth...
Every day just a little bit bigger...
plants and gardens give you
so much hope.....
Which we all are in need of right now...
πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’

I hope your hearts are light this year;
and for those of you friends who
have lost someone near and dear
this past year-- or even longer ago--
I wish you peace and a heart-
warming holiday--
whatever tradition you celebrate.
