Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She had a very unflustered visitor sitting on her garden wall a day or two ago. We had a gloriously sunny day today.

It was quite a bit cooler but as it kept a few degrees above freezing, no one was complaining. After some early dancing withContinue reading “Almost a white Christmas”
