Snowflakes in December

Snow covers our winter garden and adorns it for Christmas.

I love to see the evergreens with snow glistening on the boughs. As I walked to the mailbox today, I was thrilled as the snow gently fell and clung to the northwest sides of the trees. 'Tis the season to be jolly, fa, la,la, la, la, ..la,la, la, la! The stillness whispers of the sacredness of the season.

Back to the warm cozy house, and time to turn on the oven and make some snowflakes of my own. Cookies, of course!!

Once I got going on cutting out cookies, I wanted to make some Christmas trees too. The following are some of my edible treats. It took me a while to get the dough mixed, then chilled, then cut out and baked, and finally iced. I had forgotten what fun it was to make sugar cookies. And I was ready to sit for a while after finishing the treats.



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and both in our home and outside. Here is a picture I painted a few months back of Santa. May your Christmas be Merry and Bright~. God bless you one and all.

You did a great job on the Santa
and the cookies!!!

A few minutes ago
one of our neighbors brought us over 2 slices of red velvet cake and 2 slices of another type, not sure what it is called but, looks and smells great. I liked seeing the pictures of the snow, the path thru the woods was neat.

The picture of Leon and Maura and the kids was good. I read that e-mail also.

Have a good Christmas and a Safe &
Happy New Year to you both. Take Care. Willie & Danny SCC
