Clear Skies

Just another postcard day

This is how the Village looked yesterday. It still looks like this today. In fact, it’s looked like this for so long that I actually had to water the garden today, and I even left the sliding glass doors open most of the day.

A peek at the weather reveals no rain through next Friday. Despite the unseasonable weather, I put up the Christmas lights today and hung my wreath.

The balcony:

Here’s the banister:

And the wreath on the front door:

Maybe it looks a little weird, having the hanging plants and the wreath.

This year, I added blue and clear “icicle” lights to the back porch:

Amazingly, I teetered on the ladder, applying the tiny cup hooks to hold the lights without actually falling down. Or breaking anything. Yay, me.

Other than that, it was a pretty busy day, doing my regular job, making a new recipe (curried chicken meatballs with rice pilaf, anyone?), and interviewing the owner of Dogs at Camp for an article I’m writing for the Dogs In Canada website. Sometimes I have a hard time remembering which Me I am when I call someone on the phone.
