Sylvester Celebrates the Holidays

Remember Sylvester? Our 22 lb friend from the garden? Riley wasn’t that enamored of him, but he has been the perfect house guest these past couple months. Just kind of laying around quietly ….. ripening.

When I told him it was time to get ready for Christmas Dinner, I think he may have misunderstood.sylvester_christmas 
I will spare you the photos of the carnage, but suffice it to say, he was good right till the very end.

Sunday Morning – in Black and White

I couldn’t say so before, but Lauren has moved to another area in Iraq and let us know yesterday that she is there safely. This morning’s photo is for her & it’s a common sight this time of year – a snowy morning. No need to change this over to greyscale to get this effect – with the exception of cropping, it is straight out of the camera.sunday_morn12_21The roads are awful, so we are skipping church. Larry is out plowing – his family Christmas is later on today, so we are looking forward to that. But then, we only have to walk a couple hundred yards up the road to get there. This is definitely a “wish you were here” edition of Lauren’s Sunday photo. Blessings on your day all.
