shortest day...

Today is the shortest day of the year, well... light wise that is, with all that I wish to accomplish, it better not be any shorter time wise!!!! The Christmas cards are coming in on a daily basis... I love receiving cards... some think it's an out dated thing, with emails, facebook, blogs and all.. but I am happy to see that not all agree. I mailed cards this year.. I didn't last year, we were newly in the house, I didn't have a clue as to where my address book was, and for some reason, I didn't seem to have the time to do them. I missed not doing them, so this year, got onto it.
I know we don't get as many as we used to, but they still are making a nice "frame" around the dining room doors.


Our guest doggies are beginning to arrive for Christmas... we will have five staying with us. This is Daphne.. she is a six month old Great Dane and a real sweetie pie. Abbie was (is) quite taken with her. She thought Edgar was a big dog...











But Daphne has them beat for sure. And to think she is really just about half her size.... kind of like having a pony in the house!!!!










So, as this shortest day comes to a close.. and tomorrow the light begins to lengthen... we still have a lot of winter ahead of us. Guess that means, cuddle up by the stove and enjoy just being at home.

The dogs and cats have the right idea! Cuddle up in the warmth and enjoy it! I love your blog header right now, but I sure hope it is not covered with white shortly!
