It's Christmas Day!

Overcast and 23 degrees.

There was no additional accumulation of snow overnight.


Tom beat me to it!

*********************************

Yesterday was one of the reasons I love living here!

Yes - I saw some wonderful old friends and shared memories going back 42 years, but it was also a spectacular day in the country!


The rime that had blanketed Paris Hill, yesterday, had spread southward, and this is what the trees looked like as I began the drive up Craigfoot Road.


Whe I reached the 5 corners, I headed straight ahead, up Tubbs Road.

The scenery was a magnificent Christmas gift and reminded my why I don't want to be in Florida!

At the same time, Jim Cieslak was taking pictures up on Skyline Drive, West of Deansboro, and he sent me these photographs to share with you:

(Thanks loads, Jim!)




It was dusk when I drove past Carol Gloss' little house overlooking Bailey Lake .......

............ and I made my daily pass up Putnam Street, stopping to enjoy the Verdons' light / music display! (If you haven't taken time to do that, yet, it's worth your while to drive up Putnam Sreet, pull over to the curb, tune your radio to 87.9 FM and listen to the music. THEN the pattern of lights will make sense!

**************************************

I'll be having "Christmas" again tomorrow with my daughter, Allison, her husband, Rick, and my grandson, Iain, at their home in Ballston Lake.

No blog post on Monday, but check back on Tuesday morning.

Enjoy your vacations and drive safely!
