A Holiday Feeling

Our weather has that holiday feeling, Cold and Crisp. We visited Williamsburg Virginia yesterday and the wind had the chill. I felt like a great cup of hot cocoa our a cup of warmed Holiday Gluwine was in store. The shopping was great we walked around the Colonial Merchant market. I love the feeling and sites of the colonial town. The singers were out and the stores sent our minds back to the past.
Arriving back at home it was in the low 30's. Oh yes it begining to feel like the Holidays are approaching. Today we will start decorating the yard. Light on the gazebo and making a Charles Dickers Christmas Carol setting. I will be great to set by a fire and in a Victorian setting.

We do have different areas that can be decorated in styles. Visiting the Christmas town at Busch Gardens made me in the mood for this years decorating. That place was wonderful. We will surely need to revisit soon.

Now the weather is getting more and more winter like and I am ready to make our Christmas village in our side in the yard.

Awaken to a Fall Treat.

Oh, I just love the colors of Fall. This morning I was up at 5:30AM. The sun was just coming up and the view from the solarium was so golden. I grab my camera and run out in the 32 degree weather to take this photo. Yes still in my PJ's, but the sight was so marvelous that I just couldn't contain myself.

The view of my Backyard

I think Fall is my most favorite season. Each year I get this feeling of joy. I love the way the air feels, the smell of burning fireplaces and the colors of all the trees. What a beautiful world we life in!

Ruby Tuesday- Nations Capital Sighting

Today we Vote, here in the USA. I thought I would give you some Rubies of our Nations Capital, Washington DC.

Our Nations' Capital Building

Below is the Smithsonian Castle,
dates back to the early 1800's.
Here is a little history of this building;

*"In 1826, James Smithson, a British scientist, drew up his last will and testament, naming his nephew as beneficiary. Smithson stipulated that, should the nephew die without heirs (as he would in 1835), the estate should go “to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.”...."

The Castle's Garden Court

*Quote is from the Smithsonian History Site. It is Hyperlinked to learn more about this building.
