It was so bone chilling cold outside this morning as I walked to the mail box. The temp is 24 degrees F. but the wind makes it feel like 7 degrees F. It hurts the skin that is exposed to the air. I snapped photos of the sled this morning to send to my brothers but I guess I will share them here too. I have so many memories of sledding with sleds down the steep hill behind our house. All four of us would be out there and the snow would get so icy and slick from so many of us making a good trail. My brothers are in their 80s now and live in warm states but here I am still living in Iowa, freezing.
I am really pleased with the blue that I painted the front door last year. I also upgraded the wreath with extra balls of color to make it more festive. The bells hanging there are an extra that we hang there for the sound effects. The ribbon on the bells are sure messed up as I view the photo. I may get it straightened out soon.
I wrote out Christmas cards to those that I have received and also to those I think I will probably get soon. I had to dig through old cards to find a couple of addresses. It was quite satisfying to get it done and I can send late ones if there are some that I didn't remember and come in later. We both are waiting for packages to arrive for our Christmas presents. I am not sure if the strike will mess with arrival times but a lot of mine will get here today or tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in today.
