Our Wonderful Weekend

 Joe put up my new bird.

Love her!

Thank you, Joe...

Joe also cleaned out Socrates' cage and I watched our tortoise go exploring.

He visited Granny Apple and Rover.

Socrates also took a "swim" in the Happy River.

I put him back in his pool and Socrates checked out his new piece of driftwood.

Back to his sunning spot.

I love Socrates.

He is one lucky tortoise.

Meanwhile...

We had quite a bit of snow this weekend and I felt like I was in a snow globe!

Brooke asked me to help her with some gifts for her teacher friends.

I decorated all the lids...time consuming...but fun.

I finally got the back banners up on the Hittyille Queen.

I was happy to see the ladies have come up with a design for the buntings which will be put up on the side railings.

This morning, we got out our Christmas CD's.

Joe found the container of Hittyville Christmas ornaments I made last year.

Joe put up our little tree....Brooke and I decorated it...and Brooke put on the Angel that is actually from my childhood tree.  This is Brooke's annual duty!

I love our small festive tree.  It fits into its special spot year after year and brings a feeling of continuity to my holidays.

~I love wintry weekends~
