Getting Ready

One minute, there were no decorations in sight, and a few minutes later….voila! 

Dec 15 (1) All I did was tear myself away from reading blogs, ran up to the storeroom and grabbed a knickknack or two plus a few pre-lighted Christmas trees to make it look like I’m sort of in the holiday mood.  It was necessary because our two college children will soon be arriving home for the holidays.  The laundry needed to be completely caught up, too, so the kids can have exclusive access to the washer and dryer for a few days.  And, a big batch of cookies needed to be baked---not Christmas cookies, but simply the oatmeal-chocolate chip ones which are the everyday favorite around here.

I hear you. I have enough to do just preparing the house and food that gifts have been the last thing on my mind. Gotta get that done too.

You made me laugh. That's about how I decorate.

I enjoyed scrolling down, catching up on your wonderful photos of barns, skies, and such.

Happy New Year!
