It looks like rain tomorrow, so it will be a good day to do some Christmas preparations and house projects. I’m hoping that Sunday will be dry and I can get outside.
Have a great weekend!
My list of things to do before the holidays is starting to grow! Somehow December is moving forward at a very fast pace and I’m dawdling. I’m looking at beautiful wildlife photographs, reading holiday recipes and blog posts instead of tackling items on my list. Just in case you have free time, here are some of the things that I’ve been occupied with.
