We are gratefully enjoying the last quarter of the year where winter hasn't arrived yet! It looks like we'll get through December without snow for the first time in a long time! My "memories of this day" on Facebook are all featuring snow and ice.
The sunrises have been spectacular. The Trumpeter swans are back and hundreds of Canadian geese have stopped by for a day or two on their journey South. So far, none have opted to stay, so we're grateful for that also. The humming birds are going through a container of juice about every 3 or 4 days, and all the little tweety birds are going through a canister of birdseed every week too. I've been cooking - mostly cookies - but some interesting other things also. I remind myself of the mother in "Prince of Tides" trying all the exotic recipes on a meat and potatoes kind of husband. The spinach souffle was a definite "No" for Ron, and he wasn't very enthusiastic about the sausage filled dates either. So today, ham and scalloped potatoes and green beans for a more traditional kind of Christmas meal. Sending wishes for happiness and success for everyone in the new year and a warm and merry Christmas!
