Please forgive my extended absence – it’s so nice to be back! Our family has been working, schooling and generally keeping the home fires burning. We have weathered a few wind storms (we were none the worse for wear), helped neighbors manage power outages and kept our local grocery store in hot coffee (nothing beats a wood cookstove!). Now, we are busy making candy for Christmas, trying to finish school for the year (we’ll be back at the books in January) and preparing for a dance that we are hosting at our local community center. I’ll keep you posted on the happenings……
Now, some photo’s of our nativity. We have been collecting “Willow Tree” for a number of years, adding to it every Christmas season. Generally, I clean off a shelf, and set the nativity safely out of the way, but I’ve really always wanted it front and center. This year, I tried something new – I used and old galvanized beehive top and, with double-sided tape, secured the Willow Tree to the hive top and placed it in the middle of our living room coffee table. It worked like a charm! Now the children and the dog can bump into the table, yet the nativity holds fast. I’m thrilled!
