It wasn't a lot of snow, just enough to make those who drive on hills or freeways nervous, which is just about all of us. Mostly it has been "slushing", snow mixed with rain, cold and wet and nasty. But we'll take it, because after our summer into fall drought, we need the rain, and the snow in the mountains.
Today the Santa collection came out of the storage tubs and occupied the shelves that had been cleared of the pottery collection. Those got stored away yesterday, along with making turkey soup. The house was filled with yummy fragrance.
Yesterday morning we spent the late morning watching the USA play Iran in the World Cup. It was an intense soccer match, which the our boys managed to win 1-0, and will move on to the round of 16.
Now it's nearing 4:00, it's snowing/slushing lightly, and we're on the edge of dark.
There will be turkey soup and salad for dinner, not much work for today, since I did the work yesterday. Easy is good.
It's hard to admit that we cannot do what we used to. I know the feeling. It's especially bad when I'm told I can't do certain things like climb a ladder.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten just how many decorations and Santas you had. That was quite a job to put out and it looks great.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand that slowing down routine. I will see people doing things like lifting hay bales and think--I use to do that. Getting a longer "use to do list" as apposed to a "can do." one. Still grateful for the can do's still on my list though.
Enjoy whatever you can do. Some things are just not worth the effort anymore. Your Santas look great!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very lovely!
ReplyDeleteI dislike slushy snow, because that freezes here and driving in it is awful.
You may have seen on the news about the snow we got and the chaos it caused drivers.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see your Santas out for another festive season.
I remember that Santa collection from past years!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your holiday decorating.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is a great picture of you. You certainly don't look like you are falling apart. However, I know how you feel. On top of every thing else that ails me, I found out yesterday that I have Glaucoma in my left eye. Isn't it always something! :) Your Santa collection looks sp pretty. Would love to stand and look closely at each one. Love all your decorations.
ReplyDeleteYou sure are all decked out for Christmas! Lovely decor, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Santa collection!
