Christmas came for me this week!

      In the form of Bogs boots! I have already been wearing them and I really like them! I have photos later on. I really don't want anything for Christmas as I don't think it's all about 'me'! Jesus is the reason for the season so I want my focus to be on Him! I believe that giving is as important, or more so, than receiving and I so enjoy watching the faces of others light up when they receive! Especially the children! There is so much to be thankful for this season, even in a world of uncertainty! I can hardly wait to see the kids open their gifts!

      I have really felt 'cruddy' this week as I have a bad cold. It started out with hoarseness, then an excruciating sore throat. Now the sore throat is gone, but I have continual dripping of the nose, watery eyes, and puffy head. In spite of all this, I went outside and worked a little in the garden and behind the house. I did that yesterday too! The weather is so mild and the sun is so warm! I even removed my sweater and had on a short-sleeved shirt! I am so ready to get those garden beds prepared for Spring! I found some dirt on the hill that I think we can use, if we can access it better. I'm talking to Ran as soon as he gets home to see if he can clear me out a path (there are several downed trees and much brush in the way). Like he doesn't have anything else to do! There are so many projects to finish, and heat to be added, he works all the time! He finally got the heat going upstairs and one unit installed downstairs. Yay! We didn't even need heat today, but I know it will come in handy real soon!

      I hope ya'll are having a wonderful holiday season and enjoy being with your loved one(s)! Time is rapidly approaching to the Day! I hope to talk with ya'll again soon! If not, I may take some time off during the holidays, so don't worry if you don't hear from me til after the first. I don't know that it will be that long, but it could be, with family and travel and such. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Blessings from Bama!

I have become addicted to this concoction for the past two days! A teaspoon of our honey, a teaspoon of the vinegar, and a half teaspoon of garlic. Not pictured is Oregano oil I placed externally on my throat. I am better since it all began!

How do you like the Bogs?

I like those flowers!

I've already gotten them dirty! They are really comfortable and easy to get on and off.
