Tuesday

 Well, yesterday was the first day of our Advent exchange....my daughter and I.  She loved her Frida Kahlo bag and I loved what I got............she collected flower seeds from her garden and printed off seed packets to put them in...brilliant!

We got snow Sunday night!   About an inch...it was so pretty coming down but it melted pretty fast yesterday when the sun came out!

I got my Christmas decorations out and up...............most anyway...there's some I can't find....imagine that! LOL!

This is in the front window....my Aunt Alice's ceramic Christmas tree.............

I have a plant that is blooming but I have no idea what it is!  I got it a few years back at the Farmer's Market.............

It has seeds along the edges of the leaves and propagates like crazy!  Anyone know what it is?  I'll have to do some research.

I did some more decorating yesterday.........

and here is my little tree.........crazy lights but they were all I could find...........

You know it's winter when Miss Peeps crawls under the covers to take her naps! LOL!

This afternoon I made tortilla chips.....I used up the flour tortillas but it's not worth the effort to make your own neither are the caramel apples unless you use Kraft caramels and I won't make the caramel corn again either...some things are just not worth the time and effort.

Today is Jim's birthday.....he would have been 40 years old today.  I miss him but the tears don't come as often and I am very grateful that he passed before COVID came on the scene or I would not have been able to spend his last days with him.  It's amazing what you can be grateful for when you think about it.  I feel for all those who have lost loved ones and couldn't be there and for all those who had to die alone.  I was one of the lucky ones....who knew.

Happy Trails!!!
