Merry Christmas! Cookies....!!!!

 

 

 Would it really have been Christmas without Patty's Christmas cookies?   I know Christmas is past but given the sub-zero temps and the snow....and ice, can't forget the ice....the pictures just seem timely!

Below is the finished product.  I have to admit to eating my share. 

 

A picture of the executive planning session...

 

 Patty has able assistants in myself, Rose, and....

 

 Boo and Daisy (Boo hiding....thus, the name) and...

 

 Tootie...

 

Patty leads the way, providing guidance and advice

Rose provides the grunt work...


Boo continues to hide....

And we have cookie decoration lift-off!

The Executive Director of Chez Anderson was satisfied with our work!

Thank you, Patty!  It was fun, cookies were excellent, and the company was just wonderful.  See you next year!

By the way - would my friends in Alaska PLEASE close the door?   We have had enough of your sub-zero weather! 

It is winter!

Cold, ice, snow....and then more cold, ice, and snow.  And more to come here in the Midwest in the next 24 hours.  I thought I would post this for those of you in Florida and Arizona and California (you know who you are!).  Count your blessings....

Dreary backyard....

Cold birdy bottoms - sitting on cold metal!   I wonder how I can get those heated.

 

Mr. red bellied Woodpecker wasn't having it too bad yesterday.  He hasn't made an appearance today!

 

 

That is all for now - that is enough!  I am just hoping we keep electricity and a warm house when the wind starts picking up in the next couple of hours!
