Just browsing through dropbox at some of my favorite photos from last year.  I'll share a few.  :)

Winter solstice has come and gone so I am so looking forward to longer days again!  Right now the sun goes down and it is dark in Chicago by just after 4:30 pm! So how do I handle the cold dark days?  Lots of chocolate for one. Night Sledding. And more snacks like tortilla chips, vegetables, and guacamole.  Lemon ginger kombucha too.   How are you enjoying the end of the year?

I saw these shooting star hydrangeas at the store and had to have them.  They remind me of  New Years, renewal, winter, snowflakes, and of course, shooting stars.   I love hydrangeas in general, especially the blue ones all over New England and Cape Cod.  The regular white round ones are quite common here in the midwest along with pink ones.  I heard it's the acidity in the soil that turns the flowers blue.   But I have never seen the shooting star hydrangea in a landscape.  They are definitely a welcome addition to the frozen landscape here in the Midwest, USA.  I will keep them inside though so they don't freeze to death.  Haha. 

The painting is now in my shop.  

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!  My son at my parents' home.
