We arose early this morning, headed for breakfast, some christmas shopping, the grocers and then came home.

It's been foggy, cold and wintery today. I'm hoping it stays this way for the rest of the holidays. I know some of you have
plenty of holiday winter weather to last you a life time, but I live in California and I can't tell you how many Christmases I've
observed with t-shirt and shorts weather... Please don't hate me for it!!! I'd much rather have the more traditional weather.
I can't imagine what it must be like on the other hemisphere of the planet, it wouldn't feel like Christmas to me at all.


Today's pic was taken looking into the neighbor's yard, this tree stands so proudly in the hazey day...
