Almost

 

There's still bluster in the forecast, but at least the day started with a bit of open sky.  And yet, I remain indoors until a needful follow up appointment for bloodwork, and a quick stop into Shoppers compels me to brace the elements.  But that was the afternoon.

In the morning I did some desk work, mostly because end-of-month reports are due and transparency and accountability should take no holiday.  It's a satisfying task though, giving me a chance to reflect on all that's been accomplished in the past four weeks.  Christmas included but not exclusively, a whole lot happened in December that I and a bunch of others who journey this with me can feel very happy about.  People have been generous with their time, talents and treasures, and it all comes out to a decidedly positive end of year.

Then out for the aforementioned appointment and a short visit to a friend in hospital.  And that's about all I can do for the day.  So glad to get back to the house and snuggle in for another pondering over the puzzle.  Feel compelled to post an update.

There's more glare on this shot because of the extra bits of sunshine earlier.  But it's coming along nicely, still providing the softness and warmth one enjoys best on a wintry afternoon.  

And now it's dark and more snow is supposedly on the way.  And it's all part of the easy way of things as the year draws to a close.  

Saw a meme on Facebook that said something about how hilarious it is to ask folks who are usually in bed by 8:30 what their New Year's plans were.  Yup.  That's us.  Right now it's 6:15 p.m. and we've finished supper and done the dishes and I'm already in my pjs.  Ha!

Stay cozy friends, as you are able.
