Trees. They are spectacular and can really make a neighborhood special. On the way back from a walk this scene struck me. This was November – the ground was so dry. The sun was coming in strong and a sprinkler was on which looked similar to the sun shining through the trees, wondering if this was a humid day? These live oak trees have been here for a long time, and they’re magnificent. In a way it takes you back in time. Especially when the Spanish moss is blowing in the wind. It’s gorgeous!

I’ll be back to posting house plans on Friday’s starting in January – this is such a busy time of year, I’m not sure why, but it is, for most everyone. It’s not just the Christmas holiday (or whichever holiday you celebrate) – it’s just everything. Maybe end of year business coupled with Christmas, what to buy, what to make, do we have wrapping paper, are we making cookies, etc. etc. etc. I find myself stuck in recipe land – then I’m short on time so I make the same dishes (anyone else?) I’m getting better with the soups. Let me know a favorite recipe if you have one!

✨ Until next time…
