My Favorite sights and happenings this week
Earlier this week one of the neighbors down the block had an outside party. Now this was not your usual party. There were Indian dancers in full costume doing traditional native dances to the beat of several drums. The shaman welcomed visitors; truly an unusual sight.
The tree is up and beautiful. I am happy. It has a western theme.
Grandson put up the outside lights, I was surprised and happy
I finished my Christmas Cards. All the sparkle doesn't show up very well, but the branches (part of a Christmas tree garland) are white and covered with sparkly glitter--just like a frosty morning sight.
Nice pictures to take us through the weekend! Glad you got your lights up. How nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL card choice...I bet the sparkles on the branches are the perfect touch. And, I LOVE cardinals.
ReplyDeleteWishing now my grandsons lived closer to us ---our outdoor lights will remain packed away. Your tree, what a gorgeous tree!!! The reflection on the wall is stunning too.
And the neighborhood street party. Oh how I miss them. We had them annually in Tucson...so much fun.
Yes, VIRGINIA is my Friday post...if you can, come on over for a visit. And, have a terrific day.
