The view from the front porch tonight—cold but beautiful. 📸

A large tree with bare branches stands in the foreground of a snowy landscape during sunset. The sun is partially hidden by the tree, casting a warm golden glow across the scene. Shadows stretch across the snow-covered ground. In the distance, other trees and a barn are visible against the colorful sky.

The Christmas cookie baking has begun.

I got some Micro.blog stickers! I don’t use many stickers, so I’ll have to think carefully about where to put them. Thanks @jean for sending them out.

This beautiful weather has me wanting to go camping. 🏕️ Planning a short trip next week if we can get everyone over their head colds. In the meantime here are a few pictures from our trip to Montauk State Park in 2021.

Probably the last few flowers we’ll pick from the garden this year. 🌱

We haven’t taken any evening walks for a while but it has finally been cool enough to venture out. The trail passes by some fields and there was tractor parked near the path. Our youngest, who is infatuated with tractors, was thrilled.

A quick snapshot of sunset from the driveway. In the heat of summer, this is my favorite time of day.

A gravel path curves through a grassy area at sunset. The sky is painted with shades of orange, pink, and purple, partially obscured by scattered clouds. Trees and bushes are silhouetted against the vibrant sky.

I’m not a fan of the heat and humidity, but the summer garden produce is a bit of silver lining. 🌱
