The Garden In Winter

After a tough day it's nice to come home and find a little beauty in my own back yard.

Welcome 2014

Have been on vacation for the past 2 weeks. Was to go back to school on Monday but just found out that Governor Dayton has called off school for that day due to anticipated temperatures being extremely low. They are predicting -27 for the low on Sunday and then -15 for the high on Monday.

Very Cold

Very cold lately. Highs in the single digits.

Winter Greenery

The spruce top looks so much more Christmas-y with snow.

Every year I buy a spruce top from a gal at work who sells them for her daughter's Girl Scout troop.

The Work of Squirrels?

Some of the garland on the winter greenery is coming undone. The work of squirrels?

Winter Greenery

I bought some winter greenery from Missy at work and it arrived Monday. Her kids are selling it for a fundraiser.

Photo taken in December 2010 but it still pretty much looks like this in January 2011.
