Thank you for this beautiful photo, and your greetings. I got your nicest card and smart gift, thank you very much for your kindness! I hope you will enjoy your holidays very much!
Very pretty! We have exasperatingly high temperatures, too, but with last winter in mind, I'm not complaining (too much), useless reindeer scarf or not… ;)
The high temperatures are certainly a change from last year! Daughter is somewhat bemused by the fact that it is Christmas but there is no snow. We have had a white Christmas for the last two years and she can't remember much beyond that!
Having spent the first six Christmasses of my life in Fairbanks Alaska, it was strangely discomforting to spend the next in the Seattle/Puget Sound area with nothing but rain and clouds. Sure didn't seem like Christmas to me.
BTW we did get just enough snow the morning of the 24th so that this year qualifies as a White Christmas. It was comparatively warm while snowing. Flakes were colliding and sticking together as they fell. I'd swear they were the size of saucers! Dave
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and every sort of good cheer! Thank you for running this community - it's been a joy to me in the short time since Eglantine brought me here.
As lovely as that picture is (look at the direction of the ice crystals on the fence!) I'm very glad our weather isn't like that this year. Last year we had multiple snowstorms of a foot or more; we wound up with a permanent two-foot snow cover because so little of it melted in between storms. This year it's only snowed ONCE, and that was at the end of October (causing an enormous power outage that lasted more than a week, but that's another story). It's not as pretty out there, but it saves on shoveling.
Aww thank you sweetie! Glad you're enjoying the comm so much :) It's always a pleasure to have new members, especially ones who go to the lengths of baking period cakes!
Ditto the weather here! Last year's sub zero temperatures were almost unprecedented on the West Coast of Scotland. We very rarely have snow that lies for any length of time, the climate is far too maritime. Rain and gales are usually our lot for winter!
Definitely not an idiot thing to say! When I wrote that I was sitting in a warm snug house being very thankful that there was absolutely no reason for me to go outside at all! :)

Still, rain can be all right-- if you have a chair and a nice book!
