The holidays are here....what a wonderful feeling this time of years brings, the beautiful memories of years gone by, and the news ones we are creating today. My husband and I went to a park here locally today, one for which we haven't been in almost 27 years, it is right on the water, and it is so peaceful and beautiful. Upon driving into the park, we came across this beautiful tree of red berries, don't have a clue as to what they are, so if anyone knows, please tell me. They reminded me so much of the berries on holly, I just had to get some pictures. When I came home and downloaded the pictures, I noticed this particular picture, with the white Bokeh in the background, reminded me of snow. Now, being I live in Central Florida on the Gulf Coast, and it was 74 degrees out today, it obviously isn't snow. But, though I am already totally in the Christmas spirit, just a little simple picture such as this, just brought so many memories back of those cold winters when we lived in Ohio and then in Utah. Now that all, well most of my Christmas decorating is done (took me over 4 days), I am so ready to get out there and start shopping and enjoying all the wonderful sights and sounds, and oh yeah, those beautiful fragrances of hot cocoa, pine, and all the others that are so symbolic of this magical time of year. As I drive around town, I am so surprised at how many people have really gotten into the spirit this year and have decorations up...hope it that way where you live too. Enjoy every minute of these beautiful days leading up to the holidays, and happy shopping...
