Happy New Year – Two Trails One Road

Welcome!

I’m a tad late today in publishing this post… but I am relaxing near the fire! It’s the day after Christmas and it’s chilly outside this morning… but the sun is shining and it will warm up to 65ish.

I hope you had a lovely Christmas. We sure did! We missed our family, but we will see them soon! I am not the most excellent Pancake maker, but yesterday’s blueberry pancakes came out great! That started the day off perfectly! We opened gifts, chatted with friends and family, and FaceTime was fun! We even had friends pop over, so we enjoyed their company.

After nibbling on Pizzelles, which I made for Sweet Man as it is his favorite Christmas cookie, I went on a walk in the neighborhood. I was surprised to see earlier-than-usual blooms!

***These paperwhites are early this year.***

***We could call it a Christmas Cactus of sorts!***

Then I noticed all of our Aloe has begun to bud!

I find it odd, but I enjoyed seeing the blooms.

This guy caught my attention as well. It’s not a bloom but he sure is cute!

Enjoying the In Between Time

I love the time between Christmas and New Year’s. I think we all step back and take a deep breath to enjoy the stillness. We keep the Christmas decorations up, enjoy the leftovers and dream about the New Year. I enjoy sitting outside and watching the hummingbirds fight over the feeders.
