December 26, 2021 Boxing Day




 We had lots of fog this morning, the day after Christmas Day, Boxing Day.  Now it’s sunny and 64 degrees.  Projected high for today is 68.  Definitely does not feel like Christmas to me, weather-wise.  The previous two days, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, were abnormally warm too.  It’s hard for me to really get into the Christmas spirit when it’s not at least cold.  So different from most of the Winter temperatures at this time of year— until the last few years.  It has given beautiful sunsets (the middle picture on Christmas Eve) and Sunrises (Christmas Eve morning).  The whole month of December has gone by so quickly that I only got several batches of sugar cookies and several batches of fudge made.  So I have plans to make my Tasty Kake and sausage balls this coming week. 

So it’s all done and dusted for another year.  I really don’t know how I feel about that except it was fast.  They are all so different for me now.  Not bad—-just different.  

I have a lot of fabric close by, and I have been stitching a snowman.  Just simple backstitch, but it feels so good to have a needle and thread in my hands again.  It’s been ages since I’ve felt like stitching again.  And the kittens haven’t been interested, so far, in what I’m doing, which is a great thing.  

I hope that 2022 holds less virus, less contention, less emotional pain and stress than the last two years for all of us.

I hope for all those things too and I hope for peace.
I'm glad you feel like sewing again.
It will bring you a little contentment.
Enjoyed the sunrise/sunset pictures. One of my favorite things is watching the sky.

2021 couldn't live up to all our hopes for it ... and yet, we are still here and the sun is still painting beauty onto the sky ... cloth awaits and the cold will come ... may you find peace in all things

I'm wishing that your New Year's hopes come true, they are such nice ones. May there also be more "needle and thread" in your life.
