Meanwhile, Back in Nod...

It's a rainy, gloomy, day here in Nod with areal flood warnings posted...and extended.  But I am not complaining...we do need the rain and, while I have more outdoor work to do than I will ever accomplish, the rain gives me a guilt-less excuse.


I thought it would be a perfect time to squeeze in a post and then saw my half-hearted, half-started, post from last week.
So, I thought I would just trash the words and dump the photos...
A look around Nod, if you will.

This photo is a bit dated, obviously...last month's full "Flower Moon."
It was truly dazzling.

Like most full moon nights, I did not sleep well.
I gave up around 5:15 a.m., and the moon was just going down.
Guess it's a night owl like me.

The magnolia's fragrant blooms:

The flowering crabapple trees: 




{Pretty even at night...}

My very favorite:

The rabbits are, once again, more than plentiful...

...Wait...there are more....
(...and actually, 2 more out of range of the above photo.)

...of all colors and sizes....
{This guy looks like he needs a smoke... Hmmm, wonder what he was doing.}


{The fawn was still wobbly on this day...}


{Nothing special to most of you, I'm sure, but, around Nod, black squirrels are rarer than white deer...}


And because someone asked....

Merry Christmas to You


Time again slipped through my hands and here it is Christmas night.
I had such good intentions but, as Augusten Burroughs said, "I, myself, am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions."

So, in lieu of the posts I intended to do this month, you get this one.
Just a few random photos around the house this holiday season.

{"Jailhouse" cabinet in the dining room}

{My (humble compared to Lauren's) collection of saltglaze Santas - sorry for the poor photo; it is very difficult to photograph them where they are displayed}

{The saltglaze Santas hang out on the butter churn behind my kitchen sink}

My wish for you this Christmas is for peace - peace within your heart and within your soul as that is where I firmly believe all peace truly must first begin.

I hope your Christmas was filled with unending joy that will last not just a day but a season.

Merry, Merry, Christmas my friends.
