The Holidays

Holiday time again .... starts here with Thanksgiving ... see below, and ends with the New Year ... close to Christmas now ... We've done the prep stuff ... candy making, gingerbread houses, ornament making for the clients, ice storms, end of the year donations to local charities, cocktail parties ...We're ready to relax and reflect on our many good fortunes .... It will be a quiet (nice long) weekend at home with friends and family. Hope you all have a good one too .... dan

INTENSE concentration

VERY MORE INTENSE Concentration

The Marching Santas

The village waiting for its kids

The ice storm ... We escaped the devastation that some of the rest of New England experienced and were left with one of the most extraordinary and eerily beautiful days ...

The trees all had about 1/4" of ice on them

The road to the shop

The ornaments ... Happy Holidays !!

Missed the cookie plates ....
