  HAPPY HOLIDAYS I have not been feeling well for the last few days, but I am getting better. And today, I have done a few things around the house and finished adding a couple more decorations.

What a beautiful day it is. The weather has cooled some and the sun is shining bright which makes me happy. Here is a photo of the fence. Isn’t it beautiful?

I have purchased some items that will go into the flower garden for winter interest though they will not be included this season. They need to be cleaned and painted before I place them....
