We actually got our first nice snow of the season over a week ago - about 6 inches! It didn't last long, but L and I noticed this heart shaped hoof print in the snow on a walk.
We are getting prepared for Christmas here on the ridge. Our decorations and tree are up. I am finished with shopping and wrapping gifts (including L's Birthday as well.) The cards are hung up in the mail somewhere, so they may be a bit late getting out this year. We are planning on doing our baking next week.
Meanwhile, our state has basically shut down again. The girls are doing 100% virtual school until mid-January at least.
I was able to restart quilting lessons last week since my instructor has recovered from COVID.
JP was finally able to get both cataract surgeries done (his second one was postponed for 2 weeks while his surgeon recovered from COVID.)
Those little pumpkin sprouts that I found growing inside my pumpkin at Thanksgiving have become a thriving plant, with tiny pumpkins of its own.
We now have the outdoor wood burner up and running since the nights have been below freezing. I was checking it morning and evening on my own for over a week because JP had lifting restrictions following his surgeries. It's nice to walk barefoot downstairs as the radiant heat keeps things super cozy.
Over the weekend, JP and replaced the broken bamboo blinds in the library with a bunch of Van Gogh prints on the pull down shades. I think it looks pretty nice!
That's all from our neck of the woods right now. Stay safe!
