The view on the backyard deck this morning as I returned home from the Guerin run. Absolutely gorgeous...this doesn't even do it justice. Be still my heart!
It's been a busy week so far with volunteering and cooking for others who need a little extra lovin' this week. I can't see that I have gotten all that much else accomplished, other than taking care of my family. Actually, that's pretty much how I like my life to go, so things are fine by me this way.
The guys carried down all the holiday seasonal boxes of decor from the attic and we are in various stages of distributing those about, doing a little each day. Matt particularly likes getting things all set up light-wise, has the front door area all decorated, as well as the garland and lights on the stairway rails, and the three trees all have lights, the one in the family room being the only one completely decorated for now, complements of Matt, Alex, and Mark. I like to have the house all decorated before December when the extra commitments of holiday choir gigs and swimming meets kick in and we are busy every weekend with those things. It is just more relaxing this way. Besides, who am I kidding, I love the holiday decor and cinnamon/peppermint/cranberry candles burning around here during the holidays. A fire at night to read by, the trees lit, hot apple cider in mugs to sip as you read...come on, what's not to love about all that?
Have a good morning...go out and make the day good for someone else for no good reason at all. And, most of all, keep counting your blessings!
