Diary 1/9/13

Putting  away the last of the Christmas decorations.  I know, I'm late, but they are so pretty, especially with the new snow we received today.  Hate to let go.  Now what?  Red stuff and hearts for Valentine's Day?  Red, white, and blue for President's Day? My decorating has reached a lull.  Too early for primroses. Too late for Christmas cactus and Poinsettias. Ah well, just enjoy these short days and long night with ten hours of sleep and late mornings compared to the rest of the year.
