Winter and Christmas 2018

The snow is gone but the lake is very wintery.

I really don't want to give up blogging completely.  Nothing much happening around here, well except for Christmas and winter.  And they came in that order.  We did not have a white Christmas!  It snowed first thing Boxing Day morning.

I thought it looked particularly festive around the fireplace

We didn't have any trouble with the cat and the tree.  She just liked to sit under it.

Graeme and Adrienne came up for Christmas eve and Christmas day and then had to leave in the snow Boxing Day morning.

We had a scrumptious Christmas dinner.  I had help in the kitchen and so it wasn't as exhausting as usual.
 

The pretty table before we got started

Santa Doug brought me a Cuisinart.  I have used it for bread a couple of times.  No kneading is wonderful.

 

Isn't she a beauty.  Reminds me of a red Mustang.

So Boxing Day morning the snow came.  I must admit is sure was pretty.  Yes, I say "was" as it is just about gone this morning.  Made for some pretty pictures.

We know quail well but have never seen them in the snow,

Driving wasn't a problem.  It sure is nice to have a garage.
