There were some beautiful colors this morning as the sun was coming up over the mountains.
I have my new camera but I really haven't gotten out there to take many photos. The ones I have taken seem to be filled with clouds.
We had a bit of snow, but most of it has either been washed away in the rain or thawed as our daily temperatures are almost 40 degrees every day.
There are some leaves left out there that I could either rake up or try to blow away, but I'm way past my leaf removal mode.
It seems almost impossible that Christmas is only ten days away.
It was a bit difficult from the beginning of the trip because Lady does not like to get in the car. As a matter of fact she wants nothing to do with the car or any other vehicles, such as the UPS truck. That is probably a good thing, but we would like her to want to get in the car when she's invited.
The vet, one of Jon's ex students, Dr. Neher, says that the way to get her to do that is to have one of us sit in the car and the other one then tosses her favorite toy into the car so that she has to hop in to get it. She said to do that about a thousand times and then one day when she hops in, to shut the door and turn on the engine. Do that about a thousand times. After that(another thousand times), we can try turning on the engine and driving for a short distance, stopping and then let her out.
Seems easy enough...
Meanwhile, I am working on a wreath and almost finished.
We have our tree picked out but still haven't decided which day to actually go cut it down and bring it in the house. Maybe over the weekend because next week is cookie baking time. At least one batch of cookies per day.
It's been fun to watch all the football games, especially the college playoffs. The Griz are hanging in there. Also a small miracle has happened in that I've won our weekly football pool three weeks in a row. I usually don't win so just talking about it will probably jinx my streak.
If you have time, checkout my writer friends, Kristine and Marianne. Amazing women who have both published books and both have blogs. They tell very interesting stories and post amazing photos.
Kristine, who's now back in Rhode Island for the winter, just celebrated her birthday. You can keep up with her at Is There Anymore Pie?
Marianne is enjoying her newfound freedom since she is boarding her horses for the winter. She is the most busy person I know. She is always "out there" going somewhere, taking photos and telling her stories on Slight Detour.
There's always something interesting and uplifting to read on their posts.
I hope you are enjoying our mild December pre-Christmas weather. I am very happy to say that I have done very little snow shoveling so far this year.
Happy Thursday!
This is a video I created in 2018. It might be time to make another one.
Christmas 2018, a long time ago. The music is a song I wrote, Whisper. The musicians are Larry Guldberg, Bruce Bishop and yours truly.
