Christmas Eve is in a few days.
I made stars, this year
from red alder twigs.
This photo was taken in the blue hour,
And I have blue lights behind
decorating the gazebo.
I dedicate this star to my oldest sister
Joyce who passed away in September,
from dementia. She was 89.
She enjoyed decorating
and loved Christmas.
She will be missed.
Alders are a wild shrub that
turn red here in Winter.
I made some stars and decorated with
solarlights, dried fruit and flowers.
The stars are made in 3 easy steps.
Cut 5 pieces of twigs, the same length,
placed as follows:
One.
Two.
Three.
I glued the ends with glue gun
the wired them with floral wire.
Also in the porch.
We have a natural tree,
from the woods,
smells so nice.
Another star
Some decorations outside.
I used alders to decorate a barrel also.
This photo is from a snowstorm we had in November.
At the front of the house.
My sister Annie photobombed this pic.
We have no snow at the present time.
We did have a snowstorm in November.
Rain has washed away all the snow.
It suppose to change at the end of the week
with a major storm coming our way,
with lots of snow and high winds gusts
over 100km.
Update: The snow was mixed with rain
and all melted away
Solar lights on the tower.
They have been there a few yrs

year around.
