These Past Few Days....

    Tuesday I baked some cookies.  I told Ted "here's my snack, what are you going to have ?"  LOL. I love teasing that man.  He takes it so well.
  This was the sunset on Wednesday.  Pinks , oranges and some purple. I love it.
   Now yesterday as I turned onto the road that takes me home, I pulled over and took this shot of the temperature reading. It actually got up to 70 degrees, a record breaker for the 12th of December.  It's hard to believe it got this warm and we had that big 6 inch snow on the 21 of November.
   Yesterday's sunset was not so pretty, but it was so warm, I just wanted to be out walking. I like to be outside saying prayers for all of us.  Us is , me and you. :):)
    Wishing everyone a great Sunday.  Less than two weeks till Christmas.  XO

  1. Can you believe it is this warm so close to Christmas? It is around 70 degrees here too. We are breaking all kinds of records.

    I have to get going with my baking. I think I am going to do some this afternoon. Your cookies look good.

  9. I cannot believe this weather either. It is more like Easter instead of Christmas. I love to pray when I walk too. Such a wonderful way to pray.
    Have a great new week ahead.

    1. Nonnie, My sister and I used to bake tons of cookies and frost some of them. All the kids loved them. Jeanie would make up boxes of cookies, fudge and sugar sprinkled popcorn balls. The kids could not wait to get into those treats. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo,Susie

  17. Our weather is crazy, isn't it? I'm grateful it's not freezing cold for those who have to walk or work outside, and I'm always happy my friends and family aren't driving in blizzards, but this is weird indeed!

    I need to get started on cookie dough to freeze. I make tins and platters for relatives. Decorating is going slow. The tree is in the living room--undecorated. lol!!

    Happy New Week, Susie!

  19. Susie, your sunset pictures amaze me. I will post a sunrise picture tomorrow that I saw early one morning. My sunset pictures don't come close to yours. There is something so magical about the skies in your area. The purple and pink hues are really vivid. Your cookies look yummy. I wish I had one to go with my tea right now hehehe.

    Have a happy day tomorrow.

    love, ~Sheri
