Room For All

[Northwind]

I'm spending rainy day knitting a baby blanket for my cousin's soon to be grandson. Baby's mom loves yellow. This is like knitting sunshine

Rainy here as well. It was okay for a walk this morning. I am crocheting some simple scarves in half doubles.

Mostly been wet snow here. Got a dusting on the ground in spots but mostly been melting on contact so effectively rain.

Some neighbors are putting up Christmas decorations and lights already. Was thinking of getting my wreath on the front door.

 

[Northwind]

I've thought of getting my Christmas runner out. Then I think nah. So I'll probably put it out around December 1

 

[KayTheCurler]

I don't put out Christmas stuff early - it just means I have to dust it before the right day. Actually, I didn't decorate at all last year. We were spending the day totally alone and didn't see any point.

 

[Mendalla]

Might do my tree but wouldn't put it up until Dec. 1 or so. Otherwise, we've never done much Christmas decorating anyhow.

We usually get our lights up shortly after Halloween as its all about finding the nice weather. I try to turn them on for Diwali if the timing works out.

Yeah, if I had outdoor lights, that's how I would probably do it. Get them up in late October or early November when I don't need to worry about ice and snow but just keep them off until an appropriate time. I get a bit crabby when I see someone's Christmas lights go on the moment their jack o'lantern disappears. There's Christmas spirit and then there's wasting hydro.

One of my neighbors had a whole Halloween diorama going on. He took it down the next day and then Christmas showed up in its place.

Keener!!!

Some of it is just safety. We have our front lights in a timer, so porch and ones beside the garage door turn on every night. Our Christmas lights aren't attached yet. Some people do switch out those bulbs for Christmas. Plus the permanent app style lights are common here. I think those are efficient? I like walking late, and appreciate lights regardless of style. The street lights aren't enough and many are motion sensored for vehicles not pedestrians.

A 20' tree strung with purple lights isn't for safety. (Yes, we have those around here. Not yet that I've noticed but I'm sure the day is fast approaching)

Haha I'm pretty sure some of that is around here too already.

Patch testing is this week, not looking forward to that, I'm already flared up from lack of phototherapy and reduced medications to prep for it.

Good morning, all! From ghost stories, knitting, and Christmas decoration, to wherever the conversation may go, the coffee cart ir ready for you, Help yourself.

Are ghost stories really like incarnate thoughts ... appearing in places where they really weren't? Hold a thought! That's an odd concept given how intellect is disposed ... just so we can do what we can without knowing consequence ... strange feedback loop?

Congratulations! Glad that all is going well. Enjoy the experience. Take photos. Make a lot of great memories!

Oh Hugs, GiancarloZ! I'd wondered how you were doing? Early parenthood is such an exhausting but precious time (and the first is just sorta magical).

Congratulations! Pop in occasionally, please, to update us!

Happy hugs to you all. Hope Leonor adjusts well to life outside her nest.

Congratulations to you and your family @GiancarloZ. As I said to another online friend recently, treasure these days. They go too quickly.

Congratulations @GiancarloZ. It's good to see you back again

Congrats! Enjoy those baby snuggles!

Thank you so much, everyone! I found a way to lock my profile to members only and have posted a few pictures there. I think if you click my avatar, you'll be able to see.

They are so cute at that age (well, unless they are puking or peeing on you). Thanks for sharing.

 

[paradox3]

It's the snuggling and rooting around for milk we remember with such fondness. Very cute pics!
