Christmas
is a mere 8 days away now – I’m not done shopping or making presents just yet,
but I’m closer than I was when I started my week of vacation. I am back in the office tomorrow for three
days and them am off again until Boxing Day – so I still have plenty of time to
get things done. Shopping is
interesting this year – am trying very hard to do a combination of bought gifts
and made ones (money’s tight) and some of what I make will be cooked goodies –
so I will get seriously started in on that stuff Friday when I resume
vacation time. I can’t show pictures of one of my Christmas present projects
just yet (I have to admit, it's up there on the really cool list though) but promise to describe it in detail and post pictures after
Christmas is done.
In
the mean-time, though, winter has made a beautiful show for us here on
Vancouver Island. We had a huge wallop
of snow dumped on us last night. It
started before dark and continued on through the night.

What I woke up to this morning was roughly
nine inches of clean crisp snow and clear skies. It’s been gorgeous and sunny most of the
afternoon and Jasmine has LOVED being out playing in it.

Days
like this make me wish I had a second Groenendael – they are so much fun in the
snow!

love across the waters,
