today outside, there was the first snow, arriving in a beautiful, peaceful sunday morning type of way... decorating the trees in our yard with patches of fluff. i know winter isn't officially here until a few weeks, but today's snowfall really has switched the mood from autumn to winter. you can just feel it. a real seasonal switch. and it is not only outside where winter's presence can be observed...
today inside, there were shiny baubles a plenty, arriving in another festive, jolly decorating the tree type of way... our tree is up. miniature white lights are on and the precious ornaments have been unwrapped, rediscovered and hung. i love bringing evergreen and its fresh pine scent into our home. (right now it is just the tree and the extra branches that chuck trimmed off — they are piled up in a little nature-y display margaret worked on for her own touch of seasonal ambiance...) so, yeah, tree decorating ouside and in.
season's greetings.
