A Christmas Star and Merry Christmas.

 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

and are still working,

year around.
