For the holidays, I tried to decorate the front of my house , , , basically, just the little courtyard I have and the front window . . . . maybe it looks puny in the daylight, but at night the lights make it look cheerful and you can't see the other stuff around . . . like the extra pots, etc.

Look what I got for XMAS!!!

Arctic Blast was a bit of a dud. Just a light dusting of snow . . .

Rufus . . . he was jumping up and landed on the thin layer of ice . . . just a bit slippery and cold to those little cat tootsies!!

Sylvia on the balcony after our big "Arctic Blast" yesterday . . . if you squint you might notice that there is SNOW!!!
