Today, finally, is baking day. Black walnut cookies are in the oven, and Christmas carols are on the radio. All around the house, it's almost Christmas:
Stocking and quilted ornaments made by my friend Suzy, the gifted seamstress.
In the kitchen window, red and clear lights brighten a rainy window view.
On the porch, a small tree adds a festive touch. The blue bottles are wintering out of the weather--just in case they should get water in them and freeze.
Santa waves a greeting from the old washstand.
And bright lights warm the rooms.Back to the cookies and baking!
Beautiful! One of the many Christmas treasures I discovered after moving was the stocking my former sister in law did in needlepoint. The family, hand-made items are the best.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Mary. I especially like the last photo, though-it looks great as my background on my computer!
ReplyDeleteLoved this peek into your Christmas festivities. And the post below-Good Will to All-is what it should all be about.
