Okay! Basically no snow on December 15th: On the 16th, I made this pull-apart cake for a church potluck. I would never have thought to do something like this on my own, so thank you to whoever first came up with this candy-cane pull-apart cake idea! Then also on the 16th, a couple of sunset pictures. And some clouds to the south of us that looked like waves. On the 18th, some clouds looking like they were rolling over us like waves. Sunset on the 19th, with three jet contrails going through it. The sun looked neat peeking out from between the clouds on the morning of the 20th. Later that day, I got a picture of a woodpecker on the bird feeder, and then later another batch of sugar cookies that I made. This time I decorated them right off. Sunrise on the morning of the 21st, and then later I grouped three cookies with my favourite designs together. Sunrise yesterday morning... and one shot of an ornament hanging in the foreground with the sunrise in the background. Also yesterday, I shut off the light in my small office space and lit a candle instead. First I held it up by one of my hanging Christmas decorations, and then I set it down on my desk so it was lighting up my journal. There's something about the sight of an empty page waiting to be filled, with a pencil lying on top, and the area bathed in candlelight that I really like. And finally, just this afternoon, the backyard. Still no snow... and it's been above zero almost every day this past week or two, so it's felt like it's either October or April - anything but December. It feels weird to think that it's the middle of December right now, and yet it still looks like we should be doing farm work outside. Well, this was my last post before Christmas, so merry Christmas to everyone!
