Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

My Advent Calendar

December 4th


 I have at least 6 of these ceramic birds that I found years ago in a Vermont crafts shop. This was even before we moved to NH and we were visiting Emily who lived in Springfield, VT at the time.

Another busy day today.  It's my homeschool day with Granddaughter #1.  It's been awhile since I was gone for two weeks in November.

Also today 5 trees that border our property along the driveway are to be removed.  They belong to the neighbor and were planted so many years ago to form a screen between the two houses. One is dead and the others diseased.

Here's the before photo.

You'll have to look closely for the red ribbons. Our barn is the green one. The standing stones mark the property line.


This was to have happened on Tuesday but the winter storm delayed it. It's a gray day again today and I have to wonder if they will show up.  If they do I'll share after photos tomorrow.

Love your ornaments. Glad the trees are going before the cause property damage. But you will still miss them.
