Seasons Greetings!

Sending you wishes of peace and calm during the holiday season.



I find tranquility by going outside and taking in nature's beauty. This is my "CHRISTMAS ROSE." I discovered it's full bloom on Christmas morning.

Mother Nature brought me a splash of orange in the form of a lily against my weathered fence on Christmas morning.

Mother Nature knows what a California girl I am and how I enjoy my sunshine so she brought me some on Christmas day. And because you can't have everything, I still had to deal with cold air. But I'm not complaining cause I've seen what some of my blogger friends are going through and this is nothing compared to those freezing temps!




Christmas in Los Angeles came and went quickly. How about where you live? Hope you all had a good day spent it doing whatever brings you happiness. Peace to all.

Yes, that's true, Sherry. We gotta make the best of each day cause we won't get it back once it's gone. Happy New Year to you!

I'm glad you had a super Christmas Linda. I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year and lots of scrummy artiness! We've been frozen in since the Monday before Christmas Day! Today it's raining so I hope most of the ice will go at last. I want to go to the sales!!

Much love to you and yours.
