Your pictures are really nice - the one of the lake and the bright sky above, I thought was beautiful. And the friendly horse too!

It is always lovely to watch a Nativity, even more so when a child of yours is playing a part.<br />I couldn't remember when I last went for a walk alone. I won't leave so long until the next time, however. I really enjoyed being able to switch off for a while, that was until the squirrels startled me.

It really does bring a lump to the throat, doesn't it? I can't remember when I last went for a walk alone, but I do like spending time on my own; in fact, I very much need it and sometimes go for a drive because I want to. It's a nice thought that the shortest day has passed, even if we won't notice a significant difference for a while yet. Have a wonderful Christmas.

I think we mothers/Santa's elves are very bad at doing that at this time of year, and a little self care goes a long way. Your photos are very evocative but I'm afraid I have a little niggle: the solstice marks the first day of winter, not the middle. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-77011524075407615222018-12-21T21:07:39.679+00:002018-12-21T21:07:39.679+00:00Thank you so much Bless.

You did great, going out walking in cold weather! It has been unusually warm for this time of the year, here (it topped 80F, today!), but Saturday is supposed to be "cold" (highs only in the 60s). Sounds like you are almost all done with Christmas preparations!
