In the dark of the evening, we drove to see the Festival of Lights in Manhattan. Did some quick shopping then went looking at some of the CHRISTMAS lights that decorated houses. Saw Santa. There were horses and carriages waiting to take patrons on rides. And as luck would have it, no camera. My phone isn't my camera. Twinkling lights and greenery on the sides of the carriages. Charming. The weather was so pleasant it seemed like OCTOBER.
It has become windy...reminds me of so much like a winter storm blowing in. Nature's music to my ears. A melody of wild open spaces with an orchestra of memories to harmonize what LIFE ON THE PRAIRIE is like. Stay tuned.
I woke up around 2 in the morning not well. Stayed up for three hours then returned to bed. Slept in as my sweet Husband moved the Living room sofa away from the window making preparations for our CHRISTMAS TREE that will stand in front of the window.
Put a smile on my face as I walked down the stairs seeing the room being prepared for CHRISTMAS CHEER. Last year we did not have a tree as my Father had passed away and we were still recovering from our house fire. It just seemed to be the way things had to go that CHRISTMAS.
Then got ready to go pick up our boxed artificial CHRISTMAS TREE and tree stand from the cottage along with storage boxes full of CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS. A red and gold tree this year. Drove onto to Manhattan to pick up a few groceries and new CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.
This week the tree will go up and get decorated. HOPEFULLY. Rested last week after a busy THANKSGIVING and a full house. The month leading up to the HOLIDAY was active prepping for company. The towels are laundered, the dishes are put away and THANKSGIVING decorations are making their way back into storage. TIME FOR A CHANGE as Christmas comes.
Last Friday both my Husband and self went to see the doctor as we were running fevers. Both having sinus infections and my gut was extremely sore. Taking it easy and eating soft foods as to hopefully rest my intestinal tract a tad. Have been researching the NET to see what I might be dealing with. Not sure what to think.
It's been one of those days,

I hope you are feeling better. I feel the starts of a sinus infection coming on too..... lots of facial pressure and a yukky taste in my mouth! I'm trying to fight it on my own. I hope you get your Prairie snow!!
:) Hope to get the tree up tonight, and the lights on it. That will be a good start. Hope we get over the crud so that we can enjoy the Christmas season!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Enjoyed the Festival of Lights... missed seeing the house decorated all in blue!
