Thursday Trios – Sentimental Favourites – December 22, 2022

Posted on December 23, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…last minute shopping and getting ready for the upcoming storm has made this post late….again

Every Christmas for at least 20 years I have put these paper fans on my tree. I love them. I fold them up to store them and then open them to put on the tree. The three wooden forest gnomes are also favourites that I have had for many years and they always find a special place in our home at Christmas.

RDP – Solstice

Posted on December 20, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Ragtag Daily Prompts for today’s word ‘Solstice’ https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2022/12/20/rdp-tuesday-solstice/

Winter solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere will be at 4:47 p.m. on Wednesday, December 21, Eastern Standard Time. It is also the first official day of Winter. Many parts of Canada have experienced winter weather since October and back in mid-November we had a blast of snow but for the most part winter hasn’t really started here. The temperatures are, however, finally starting to drop and any precipitation we get in the next week should be in the form of snow.
