1. Henri and I walked over to the tree farm and Steve met us there with the truck. The mild weather felt all wrong for a Christmas task, but the moment Steve cut our tree and the pine smell met our noses, there could be no mistaking the season.
2. Tonight's dinner of baked chicken with cut up Italian sausage, red peppers and sweet onions was very good. I think Tess was happy it wasn't eggs or soup again, as is the routine when Steve's away.
3. Sitting back with a second cup of coffee after the plumbing disaster is cleaned up. On an even more positive note, it happened when Steve was home.
#1 every now and then it's nice to get a 'charlie brown tree', traditional is nice too. i'm sure yours looks gorgeous and smells divine.
ReplyDelete#3 yes, it's good to have the extra set of hands when disasters happen
The weather is not winter-like here as well, but dreary and damp all day. This is our first year without a live tree, but the small artificial one given to us by new neighbors is brightly lit and decorated with ornaments from our collection and we light pine candles while watching holiday movies.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with this weather? I have the air conditioning on here finally. It's felt muggy in here all day.
ReplyDeleteI love a real tree - I'll bet your house smells lovely.
What beautiful views, Leonora. I was hoping we'd have our tree by now, but we still haven't found one! I think Michael is going to have to pick one up on his own this week. :(
ReplyDeleteIt's cold, cold here now! But raining this evening, when--I wish--it would snow.
