Mostly Rain/Some Sun...34º

Moisture is predicted for  the next week, light rain, with occasional sun breaks...Not bad for this time of year and in only one month from today, the days start to lengthen, as the new year approaches...It seems that I hardly get used to writing 2017 and it is time to change, time speeds on.

Our Holidays will be very low key this year as our annual "Thanksmas Celebration" has been canceled and rescheduled to next spring/summer...Place and time as yet to be announced as we continue to celebrate whenever we all get together!..While others are stressing about gifts, food, decorations and crowds, we are relaxed and happy to watch from the sidelines.

I will continue some of our Christmas traditions...Multiple batches of Chex mix has been made and is stored on the cellar shelves, waiting to go into Christmas boxes or packaged and sent by mail to distant places...Creamy, decadent fondant is on my list, waiting for me to get in the candy making mood, always looking for the illusive perfect batch, so creamy and soft...Makes my mouth water, just thinking about it...AND that is the difficult part of this process as my sugar demons never know when to stop, one chocolate a day or twenty?

I am keeping busy this week with water therapy 3 days in a row, one make up day and a Wednesday session as Thursday is a holiday...Herb finally lit our burn pile that serves as a shelter for the quail in winter...They will find other shelter and he will start building another burn pile...That's life on Barton Heights...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

A perfect burn.
