seasonal – Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

Last night I decided to celebrate the season by changing our decor to something rather more seasonal. It wasn’t a heroic effort but it was a start and more than I have done in recent years.

**The creche has always been the first seasonal piece to get unpacked. It has always been humble and after forty** ***some years it is definitely looking ‘authentic.***

**With our temperatures plummeting and our snow accumulating, Frosty is not looking at all out of place.**

**One of so many musical** ***pieces that have joined us over the years.*** ***For whatever reason, they scared the wits out of granddaughter*** ***Genie when she was a tot. We couldn’t go down the Christmas aisles in Walmart for years without traumatizin***g ***the poor tyke.***

**Our only tree so far, but I am seriously considering going all out and getting the real deal** ***this year***. 🌲

**Santa and the Mrs. hanging out with the Christmas elephants. (Santa and Mrs. Claus are quite sizeable ceramic creations that** **Dan made –** ***long before we met.***

That is it for today folks! Take care and have a great day! 💞

Today is the first day of summer 2020! With our less than hospitable winters, I live for spring and summer. The shining sun, the singing birds, the warm summer breeze… Life is good! Actually as much as life is always good, we have barely seen the sun for days, the birds are too cold to sing and that breeze is 50 to 70 km gusts of northern gale force winds. What’s a Canadian girl to do?
