this way, christmas

Although I'm not a lover of snow for obvious reasons (shoveling, dirt-covered snowbanks, cold temperatures, icy walkways, bulky winter coats and major travel inconveniences), that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the beauty of mother nature. Nothing says Christmas like a walk in the woods on a blanket of freshly fallen snow, especially when people aren't dressed appropriately, are complaining of the cold, and are wondering how long this will take. Just like a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting...not so much!

We won't be decked out in typical holiday fashion this year, with a kitchen face-lift underway, but we still scored a fabulous tree from C. J. & Sons in Groveland. I had fun snapping a few "artsy" pictures along the way.
