TWELVE DAYS AND COUNTING!

  The Christmas clock is tick, tick, ticking down quickly.  No time to think about things....time to get into action!
  I spent yesterday afternoon making swags for all around the yard.  Every post, door and fence has been
adorned with greenery, pinecones and bows.  The scent of the pine is fabulous and really put me in the holiday spirit !   I made them HUGE this year, since the Christmas tree man down the road was kind enough to let me have so many cuttings.  And it was COLD outside yesterday! BURRRRRR!

 
  We had a small winter storm this week. It was gorgeous in the wee hours of the morning.  But, then it turned to drizzle and became just a big ol' mess.  It was a very heavy snow which  made a lot of tree branches crack and fall out in the surrounding woods.  You could here them crashing down through the trees!

 Iris'  had her best friend  Casey come over for a visit. I'm not kiddin', these two are like long lost sisters.

       They Love each other!  We tried our best to get them to sit quietly beneath the tree for a photo...but that just was'nt going to happen. (Casey was good, but Iris was more interested in the treats! LOL) This was the best I could do.
