Now I feel like it is really the Christmas season as it is December! The year seems to have flown by!
Good Afternoon to my Friends,
This is what it looked like yesterday afternoon! Actually weather is interesting which makes for interesting pictures. Sunshine & clear blue sky don't really add much to a picture! Although a day like that can be much appreciated. Yesterday I needed to get something in the mail then decided to take a little drive after stopping at the post office. I only drove out Dry Creek Road to Warm Springs Dam, Lake Sonoma which is a favorite drive. Yes, of course the camera was with me & I took pictures! It amazes me how quickly I can take 50, 60 pictures or more! I have decided that I have a condition called "photographyititis"! Yes, I made up the word! Thank you once again for letting me share a small portion of my pictures here with you.
Margie, I did not notice that your wreath on the fireplace looked to small. Maybe next year you will be able to look for something you like better. Thanks for the recipe for the cookies. I have not made Sugar Cookies for many a year. Too much work for the small amount of counter space I have! These kitchens where I live were not designed for someone that really likes to cook or bake. It is a very small galley type kitchen that at times just drives me crazy!! However, I am grateful for having a kitchen!! I hope the weather doesn't keep people from coming to your functions. That would be disappointing.
With all the extra I have done the last few days I have not done a lot of reading but I did finally finish a book. I read Debbie Macomber's The Inn at Rose Harbor. I liked it, a lot. The story is one of healing, friendship, learning to continue on with life if someone you love dies. As I said, I enjoyed it a lot. Would recommend reading it. My library had it so it will go back soon. I know there is a waiting list.
Twice today I tried to go for a walk. The first time I thought we had enough of a break from the rain that I could go. Well, I did my stretches, got my walking shoes on, light jacket as it is warm & a hat in case it starts raining or sprinkling! Well, I got as far as the landing at the top of the outside steps, it was raining steadily but I couldn't see it from my window as it was a very fine rain but still gets you quite wet! Back in I came, collected my mail, chatted with some neighbors, finished my book. Okay, looks like we are having a real break, sun even peaked through! So I suited up again & off I go! This time I got to walk about 10 minutes or maybe a bit longer when it started raining again. I was heading toward the bridge where I can see the river but it was raining enough that if it kept up I would have gotten quite wet. So home I came! Here I am! I've heard that we have had 6 inches of rain so far with these storms, not sure if that is accurate but there has been a great deal of rain. I will check the paper tomorrow.
This is all folks! Here is another picture from my venture out yesterday. I do hope you like seeing my area in all its moods! I just really like the low clouds & mistiness on a day like this.
Everyone enjoy the rest of the afternoon & evening.
Take care, happy reading,
Donna M
