The Week Before Christmas Scratched


Just doodling inspired by the frozen puddles


We live in a gem of a community.
So many talented people.
This evening we listened to the music of the community band
and the dulcet tones of the choir.
(Woops, I see I forgot half their mouths!)


It snowed all day


Out on the basin scooters caught our eye
they were staying in the same spot
..... must be good food about.
Then we spied the eagle above them
He fought strong winds to stay motionless
then dove into the waters near the birds
Three times
What a privilege


Grocery bags bulging
only two of us this Christmas
amazing how much food we buy


A glorious sunshiney day


but on Sunday it snowed all day


A week stretched back


and nearly another six months are done.

I hope your stockings are hanging by the chimney with care
in hopes that St Nicholas soon will be there!

  4. No snow here....just bucket-loads of rain!!

    I think all the carol-singers have decided to stay inside in the dry....so all is calm but not very bright.

    Have a good one!
