My World/Winter Solstice


Be sure to visit My World to see more of our world
or to participate yourself!


To celebrate the shortest day of the year and
moving into light,
here are a few doors decorated for the season
in my neighborhood.




Swing and Wreath


I love the swing with the red pillows.


Home Sweet Home


This wreath smells like cinnamon.


Red Ribbon


Love the red ribbons.


Snowman


Snowmen -- one of my favorite holiday *things*!


Candy Cane


A giant Candy Cane

Happy Yule!

    Those decorative wreaths are all different and all inviting. The only thing I'm not seeing is SNOW! (Glad Mr Dragon is feeling well after his treatment.)

    I see sunshine on a wall! I want sunshine!

    It is now very, very cold here so the sky is clearer. Not quite as dark, you see what you're doing between 10 am and nearly 2 pm. But I want sunshiiiine!
