As predicted, more to come

First snow post you saw the view from the back.
This is the view from the front.

Good soup, hot tea and knitting weather. Not good if you have to be out on the road.

McCammon Chase Holiday Displays

I was a passenger last night. We were looking at holiday lights. Erika drove us through the McCammon Chase neighborhood where the HOA has coordinated uniform light displays. Tree trunks wrapped in red lights, white lights draped in the bare branches.

Here’s a quick video of driving through a block or two so you can be amazed like I was.
