{A Hometown Sky Watch}


They really do a wonderful job decorating in my hometown.
I love how every streetlamp has a lighted wreath.


Every flagpole is another reminder of the long but pretty winters in Central New York.

One of my favorite flower shops, Pires,
welcomes everyone with great cheer!


I just love this tree with its rustic flare and
of course,
all the little birdies!


poinsettias!


A wish for a wonderful weekend to all my
magnanimoose friends!


Happy Sky Watching
* look out for snowflakes *
and
Happy Merry watching too!
~ Have a sweet and lovely weekend my friends ~

Love, 

Maria

  2. Hi Maria, these lighted wreaths are darling! You do not live in a very big city, do you? I cannot imagine all the streetlamps in Rotterdam looking that lovely.
    Isn't it wonderful to see the whole wide world slowly transforming into a magical winter wonderland. We must make sure we enjoy every single day this festive month to the max, shouldn't we?
    Much love to y*o*u*, sweetest friend. xx ** xx
    We are celebrating Sinterklaas next Sunday, he looks a bit like Santa Claus, we celebrate Santa Claus too though in the same way as you do. If you google Sinterklaas you will probably get a picture of the good old man. The story tells he lives in Spain and he comes every year by steamship to the Netherlands, his ship is loaded with presents for all the children. December 5th is Sinterklaas' birthday, it is celebrated in the evening, it's called 'pakjesavond'. Grandma will come to our house and we will be celebrating all together. xx**xx

  18. Your town DOES have attractive decorations! (Ours are a little skimpy, but at least there is SOMEthing...)

    I'm glad you posted the pictures from the flower shop! For years, we visited one on the other side of the city nearby. I just realized we've not been over there the past couple of years! I need to make sure they still go "all out" for Christmas and get there one of these days!

  21. How pretty! I love that little snowman! We are just far enough south that we are supposed to avoid the major snow headed towards Chicago...they say we will get a "wintery mix"! That means ICE!
