Cold & Pretty

  Things are thawing here. The birds can sip the water now , even though there's that big ice flow in the bath.
  Thursday 's sun is starting to set.
  The afternoon and what evening there was on the second day of winter...was so pretty with blue skies.
  As the sun set more through the neighbor's apple trees.
  Clouds are good for sunsets, as they reflect the colors.
 Here showing a bit of lavender in the clouds.
  This is Wednesday's sunset. More clouds , more color.
  It's still cold at this time of day, but with no fierce winds, it is bearable outside.
 You can see that on Wednesday evening we still had snow. It melted on Thursday. Today is maybe some rain here and there. It will be in the low 50's on Christmas day with rain. That will be easier traveling conditions than snow .
  Having lunch today at Angie's to be with my two oldest granddaughters.  I hope I remember to get some photos.  I am hoping all of you are starting to relax and enjoy this glorious Christmas holiday. You only have today and tomorrow to be good. :):)  Bless all of you. XO

    1. Hi Kathy, I read your post about Snowy...it's sad losing a sweet pet. So Sorry. I don't know if I am relaxing as much as I would want to. Once the month is over..I plan on sorting more of my "stuff" and hauling things to good will. I just felt so good last year getting rid of things. Hope your Christmas is filled with love, xoxo, Susie

  6. Oh, these sunsets are glorious, Susie. Such pretty colors swirling around. I wanted to tell you that your blog is a favorite of mine, and it makes me smile, especially on those dreary days. It's been raining today, but I really like the rain, and it's supposed to be sunny on Christmas day. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and you are such a dear to me. :) I hope the new year is a bright one for you and me, Susie.
