Time Out Of Time

                                                                  


This time between Christmas and New Year's Eve is, in my mind anyway, not a time to be particularly productive but rather a good time to piddle about. New Year's Eve will be spent taking down the tree--it's been some while since we felt like staying up till midnight, much less going out.

So, aside from meals (during which I try to make use of the leftovers from Christmas Day--winter squash soup tonight,) my only self-assigned task is to write some thank you notes. And I turn even that into more piddling about, doing little watercolor experiments on the cards. 

Next year I'll get back to the deep cleaning.

I'm sure everyone who receives one of your hand painted cards is as delighted as I am, so piddle away. 😄

'Piddling' is a good word for the gentle activity in this short spell. That and eating!
