Cardinal on the feeder on a snowy day

It's really coming down now. Sitting here reading some Stephen King and having some tea, watching the birds on the feeder. A cozy afternoon.

 

Just took a walk in the snow, just love it!

Red Dream catcher and Red Fairy door made by me

Happy Birthday to me

Thank you again for all of the birthday wishes (on facebook), I enjoyed each and every one of them. I had a very nice day and enjoyed two of my favorite things: making this fairy door decoration and eating red velvet cake, which my sweet husband got for me. It was also a beautiful snowy night.

Christmas light tunnel evening walk

Just got back from a refreshing evening walk...stopped at our park and took a stroll through the Christmas light tunnel before it's taken down..its so pretty! Have a great evening all. Spam chowder, its what's for dinner.

 

Happy New year! Hope 2021 isn't as sucky as 2020

Exciting times at the Haltermans tonight. We binge watched New Tricks, a British detective series, ate the box of Christmas goodies my sister-in-law made for us and toasted in the new year with chocolate milk! Now that we are all sugared up, it will still be a while until bedtime. ..here's to better times in 2021!

Million Dollar Spaghetti

Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole...its what WAS for dinner!  Good to see my brother, Kent today!

 

Santa clause came to town

 My brother and I were visiting and all of the sudden I saw out of my window a firetruck drive by with Santa on top, waving at the towns people.  Of course, it was the middle of the afternoon and no one saw him....Kent got a quick photo of the truck as it rounded the corner though...."Hi, Santa, Bye Santa"..

My brother, Kim, posted these photos tonight of the great Jupiter/Saturn conjunction, first time in 400 years this has happened

 Kim writes: "Tonight it was clear enough to photograph the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction. All the years I have been an amateur astronomer I've never seen these two so close together. You can still see them in the southwest just after sundown. The first photo is exposed to see Saturn. The second shows Jupiter's four largest moons. Jupiter as 79 and Saturn has 82."

 

Relaxing before the Christmas cooking starts these next few days...

 

Winter Solstice 2020

Christmas decoration 2020

 I finally put my Christmas decorations up...this is all I ever do. I even leave the tree decorated from year to year, just store it in a box. I light a few candles around the house and call it done. Am I the laziest Christmas decorator or what?

First real snow of the season

 A beautiful snowy morning this morning..
