This is our first snow of the season.
It is St. Nicholas Day.
A joyful day.
A magical day for our first snow.
I am cutting out large snowflakes
to use on our dining room table.
The kale held handfuls of snow.
The cone flower heads caught just a dusting.
Our first white tulip bloomed this morning.
I have 83 more scattered about the house.
I hope to have white tulips all of December.
The geraniums are blooming
as are the yellow mums I brought in last week.
The white Butterfly bushes are also in bloom.
If any of the 14 Black Swallowtail Butterflies emerge from their chrysalis I have food!
The rosemary continues to grow.
We began baking Christmas cookies this afternoon.
Three dozen Raisin Oatmeal
and four dozen Peanut Butter.
Both are gluten free and delicious!
I have a collection of Christmas copper molds
that I hang in the kitchen every year.
I was so pleased when I found a couple more at the second hand shop. They take 50% off on Tuesdays for 55 and older!
I qualify.
Next Tuesday we plan on baking Gingerbread.
After cleaning up the kitchen I went outside.
I bundled up since it was only 25 degrees.
