Whew! It was a busy one and it flew by! Friday morning I drove to Grand Rapids to my monthly Embroidery Class. I am really enjoying this group. It's my third time and I meet someone new every month. The ladies are all varied and so much inspiration is gained. I've been learning a lot.
Left class, made a quick stop by Penzey's to pick up some necessary spices for baking: cardamon, almond extract and dutch processed cocoa. Let the Christmas baking begin!
Then back home just in time for a funeral. Lots of people, a fine tribute to a fine man and nice fellowship following and some good polish food.
Saturday started off sweet. This young man came to my back gate....he needed a respite in a quiet environment. Too many annoying puppies at his house.
Today brought about some more Christmas decorating and a lovely walk in the woods. It was close to 60 today so had to take advantage of it.

| Love walking amongst the pines |
 |
| Rest period after up a few steep hills |
 |
| Peaceful woods |
 |
| New fencing they just put up along the trail. |
It was so nice outside, I finished up the outdoor pots.
 |
| Need one more glass candle jar for this. |
I lined the fence in the backyard, along the path to my sisters, with little white lights. Now all we need is snow to set the whole scene off.
Have a great week everyone!
Very nice Barbie . . . thoughts, woods and greens, Maggie and Simon too.
ReplyDeleteYour pots and planter look great. I finished my outside this weekend too. I have a bit of a rest as the inside is on hold for a few weeks. Happy baking!!
ReplyDeleteAww....poor Simon! Love the outdoor decor. Been working on Xmas decor in our house, little by little every day. Did have to take a break from everything yesterday but thought you'd be happy to hear I've been putting in great effort to get up & with assistance, do at least a bit on a daily basis!
