Happy Christmas!

It's still snowing. A little less blowy today. I am thinking - maybe - the worst of it is over. Our road hasn't been plowed at all but the main ones have a bit. It is too cold for salt to work so they are pretty slick. Husband cleared out the driveway and pavement in front of the house. He cleared the cars off and started them up. We did go out - briefly. He's a good driver in the snow. I wouldn't have driven on the roads, but he grew up here and started out driving on them. 

We weren't gone long. We came home. I finished up what wrapping I had to do. I made Sausage Rolls (just a few here on the plate lol). 



I spent the rest of the afternoon working on my Big Project for the online camera club. I am way behind on my Year at Asylum Lake, but all the photos are taken. I am now organising them and then will write things up. I am giving myself until the end of January to finish it. 

I took a break and looked out the window late afternoon. It had been snowing quite a bit. There were seven deer in the garden! Seven!

I managed to take a few photos with my camera (not sorted) and a couple with my phone.  




The thing that made me smile today was opening the package I got from my exchange partner in my Facebook Ipswich group (we all are from Ipswich and live in the states). 


Day 358



While out I took a little video of the drive in the city.  Hope it works!




Still not sure what tomorrow will hold. Husband is hoping to go and get son from his home near the lakeshore. It really depends on how bad the weather looks. Sigh. 

I hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow. It's a tough day. I miss Mum like crazy. If you're missing someone, or spending the day alone, be kind to yourself and try to look for something that makes you smile.

  1. I love that photo of the deer in your garden! I also enjoyed the video of the snowy drive to town and shared it with my daughter. Christmas Day is very hard for those who have lost a loved one or alone, away from family and loved ones. My heart is aching for friend A's daughters who lost their mother less than a month ago. I wish you quiet joy and a peaceful day, tomorrow.

  2. Such a winter wonderland. I'm glad all is well and you haven't been too negatively affected by the snow.
    I miss Mum and Dad too - to be honest, all the time, but it feels stronger at this time of year. Thinking happy thoughts, remembering happy times - it helps a lot.
    A very Happy Christmas to you all and thank you for your posts and wonderful photos that have given such pleasure. xx

  5. Your gift exchange reminds me of the sweet things my daughter's UK bestie from grad school brought or sends for treats. Real English breakfast tea, a treat.

  6. Even growing up driving in it, it's tough. Your sausage rolls look good.
