It was -14 degrees F.(-25 C.) this morning. I have experienced colder in Iowa but this temp is cold enough. By the time I blog we have warmed up to 10 degrees F. It is a 24 degree change and it isn't a heat wave.
At the top of the stairs a new batch of decorations are being readied to head to the storage room. I like red and this Santa is such a good thing. I like the gold cane that he carries along with the teddy bear in his back sack. The braids of gold turn this into a fancy ornament.
Normally I wouldn't do this but I wanted to share a back view of it. The gold decoration on the hood adds to its special appeal. The white fur reminds me of my first winter coat as a kid.
I think the blanket on this camel is such a stunning addition to the olive wood carving. It is a woven strip that works well for the blanket replica.
The poinsettia is shedding its leaves. I lose one each day as it continues to survive in our dry warm interior climate. I did walk to get the mail this afternoon and it was safe. I don't think any outside project will happen anytime soon. I have some reindeer statues that need to be carried down the hill for storage but that can wait for a warmer day.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Thank you for finding beauty each day.
-14 Gah, have never been that cold. Coldest was one Xmas when we were visiting relatives, in of all places, Iowa. Out here in Northern CA the coldest so far was +7 and that wasn't much fun. Just don't know how folks can handle months of cold like that. Course, maybe the 2 or 3 days of summer make up for it. My dad was from Montana, and he used to say, they had just 2 seasons there: July-August and winter.
I hear it may warm up a bit on Thursday, one can always hope! That Camel is just perfect!
