I am thrilled by my first attempt at taking night time photos of our outdoor holiday lights. The new front yard landscaping looks good even in the dark.

Peace.

I hope your holiday season has been as enjoyable as ours has been thus far. We have been resting and relaxing, as well as spending time with out of town guests. The weather has been mild, but windy, with some very cold mornings. Suffice it to say, that we haven’t had much time for gardening and landscaping for the past few weeks, but we are looking forward to resuming the front yard project next week – weather permitting.

I was the grateful recipient of a new Canon EOS Rebel digital camera this Christmas. It was a total surprise! I love it. It uses the same lenses that my analog Canon EOS Rebel uses which is a big plus. I still have alot to learn about the special functions of the camera, but I took some basic shots of our indoor holiday decorations, and one of my golden lab which came out pretty well. Take a look.

Isn’t Drew Brees incredible!) starting to pull away from the crowd (a little), all sure signs that Christmas and Winter Solstice are approaching. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite times of year for many reasons. But, there is also the painful reminder of my father’s passing in December 2001. Life is beautiful and bittersweet.

I am trying to finish up a project at work so I can take some time off over the holidays, consequently I haven’t been able to get all of my holiday decorations up yet, but I did want to share some preliminary photos. I still struggle to take decent inside pictures with our digital camera, but hopefully you will enjoy a little of the warmth of our home in early winter. Ron has also done a great job of lighting on the outside of the house, and I will be taking some photos of the exterior in the next few days, so – stay tuned for more holiday cheer and warm wishes from our house to yours.

Here are photos of our Christmas tree and a table top Christmas village vignette. Once I get all of the decorating complete I will share a few more photos of the interior of our ‘log cabin’.
