a few days ago I booked my fourth visit to Fleurs de Villes at The Leaf in January;-)…
it is always wonderful to see and I have given a number of friends tickets to go (with me of course)…
seems like a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who appreciates art, flowers, nature, and creativity… especially after looking out the window and seeing this, lol…

I’ve been watching the amaryllis that I purchased in early November…
it is now in the sleigh with some of the snow people and it seems to be doing okay… I added some of the solar lights in and around the melt (group of snow people)… I kind of like it…
both of the little babies on the sides of the main bulb have started to shoot up, and even the original bulb is starting to have a bit of green peek out…

it was very cold this morning 🥶…
it looked beautiful outside with everything covered in fresh snow…
I waited until around 10 to go out and blow the snow off the front steps and sidewalk so that it would be clear for the mail carrier…
today, I did not clear a path through the grass to the neighbours’ house… it was too cold;-(…
the sun was shining, but the wind kept blowing the snow back up at me, covering my leggings, my jacket, and my boots…
I was happy that I’d left my glasses in the house as my face also received a lot of blowing snow on it, lol…
I do believe that winter has arrived… even if it isn’t December 21st… feels like the sundogs are showing it;-)…

had a fun time outside a few days ago when snowflakes were gently falling from the sky;-)…
caught a few on my parka…
and spent time finding snowflakes along the stair rail…
they really are works of art;-)…

got a photo of the cold tub setup…
two years ago it got used nearly every day, and last year it was barely used at all…
for the last few years the tub has been on the top deck…
this year it has moved to the lower deck and I think it is going to work well there…
the heater (which keeps the temperature at 5° Celsius), and pump, are attached to the side and removed when the tub is being used…
you can see the frozen footprints in the photo…

walked over to a craft sale Sunday…

most of it for me, but maybe a few items for Christmas;-)…

I’m really happy with the newest outdoor camera…
the night picture is much sharper than the other cameras around the house…
kind of makes me want to change them all, lol…

had a delightful morning yesterday…
spent time talking with the plants as they were watered and turned… a few are struggling with the move indoors but most are happy…
then I spent a glorious hour on the deck, in the sunshine, reading my current novel…
