Friday afternoon I took out the solar small Christmas tree lights and put them into one of the flower pots…
wanted to be sure the pics would be able to go into the nearly frozen soil…
I also filled the snowflake with solar mini lights…
they came out very nicely…

so happy to finally have an amaryllis…
I’ve had my grandson on the search for some for weeks…
he finally came across one and dropped it off…
it has a pot and soil, but I decided to put it in water and set it inside the snowflake…
looking forward to watching it grow…

on Monday my BS buddies were over and we were catching up on our recent activities…
everyone drinks decaf coffee while I have tea…
I had my new mugs out and one friend was using the snowflake one…
it looks cool in the light and when it is full you can see the liquid through it…
I took this photo the other day of the light reflected in my tea…
made me reflect on how blessed I am with wonderful friends and so many treasures in my life;-)…

been a quiet weekend which was exactly what I needed as I move into a very full week…
yesterday the kids dropped by in the afternoon and did a few little jobs around the house… I think they actually got the furnace fixed… reamed out the pipe again and also melted any ice which may have been in it…
I’ve put away most of the Christmas decorations over the last few days except for the snowflake wreath on the front door…
it is just too pretty to take down…
also included this picture of the sand dollar wreath that just got rehung at the front door… it had a couple of broken pieces and while she was here my daughter repaired it and we put it back up…
going to have one of my decorator friends make a bigger purple bow to finish it off, lol…
the backyard is looking very lovely with the snow sculptures that the wind has made…
the stone for the waterfall has never been this covered up… there is a lot of snow out there…
took this shot a few days ago of the steps between the upper deck and the back door…
they are completely covered in snow…
doing laundry this morning, I was thinking of my mom who loved laundry… and could get any stain out… sadly, I did not inherit that love, or ability, lol…
cooked a few meals, tidied and relaxed…
happy for the down time…
