The last few days have been wonderful family filled days… The children have been spending plenty of time in the pool swimming… We shared a candle lit Summer Solstice supper with friends… Many lovely hours of Christmas day preparations… And enjoying Christmas Day together with family…. I also managed to fit in processing all my newly harvested peaches into chutney. I have frozen quite a few bottles of it and the rest I have gifted to family… Tomorrow is my dad’s 81st birthday and we will be celebrating with him…
Wishing you all precious holidays together…
Okay, I still can’t wrap my brain around Christmas in summertime there. It just boggles my mind. All of the canning and preserving you’ve done look scrumptious! Seeing the pool is making me long for summer already. sigh
Happy Holidays to you & yours
Your pool looks so refreshing & inviting … especially with this snow and chilly rain outside my window.
Peace.
Your house is beautiful! I love the picture of that loooong table. It sounds like you are enjoying a wonderful holiday. Happy birthday to your dad!
Sounds like alot of wonderful celebration in your family right now. Enjoy!
Love to shoot the holiday table! And look at your room, so lovely long for a table full of revelers. Crackers!! That’s what i forgot this year! Shoot. Maybe next year, then. So much I passed by this year, but so much was done, as well. Your fete looks lovely. We wish you peace, and a delightful year to come!
Merry Christmas to all. Your home looks lovely! Nice to see family celebrating together.
I love seeing how everyone is celebrating the holidays. We are certainly not swimming here, but have some sledding on the agenda.
What wonderful photos Linda! Looks like you have had a wonderful Christmas & holiday! Hugs
Oh wow…swimming at Christmastime! What a totally thrilling thought!
I sure hope your holiday was beautiful, Linda.
Your blog has become such a treasure to me. I wish you much happiness for the coming year.
