The Visit
Thursday, the grandchildren came for a visit.
"When do we get to frost cookies, Grandma?" they asked.
Intermittent rain fell all morning.
After lunch, K.K. and I made frosting.
There were bell, star and stocking shaped cookies.
Nice job frosting those cookies, Ladies!
Noah declined invitations to join in the frosting.
The rain stopped long enough for us to take a long walk out back.
Fortunately, the children had boots to wear.
The ground was quite muddy!
________________
In December, we have already had 4.53 inches of rain.
The normal for this time of December is 2.27 inches.
We remain four inches below the normal for 2012.

As we headed back from our walk, rain began sprinkling;
then more rain fell as we raced up the hill!
We got inside without getting too wet.

Friday, Susan brought belated birthday presents
and early Christmas presents for the children.
K.K. was in for a surprise! An empty box!
Oooops!
Noah and El enjoyed playing with their 'Squinkies.'
The temperature remained in the mid twenties all day
with winds blowing up to 35 miles an hour.
A good day to be indoors.
Saturday, the sun actually came out!
I took a late afternoon walk out back.
A trace of snow remained in the woods.
Christmas roses from Christine and Bob.
Frohliche Weihnachten!
