Turtle Doves and Christmas Eve




Swimming dogling paddle has worn Miss E out, it's very rare to see her asleep during the daytime.




"Two turtle doves..." rings the Christmas song. Here is one of our two local Spotted Turtle Doves, taken through my window.




Last night we took our annual Christmas lights drive.







Images from today - Miss E (20) has been filling the (hot) house with wonderful aromas of baking for days, yum!




At last Miss G (15)  has completed her Tilda angel doll which she began two years ago. She looks delightful even without hair.

Another special event today was being able to welcome my father-in-love into his new home, a wonderful aged care centre in our town. Each room has just one bed and it's own ensuite. He is very pleased to leave hospital and settle peacefully into his own permanent room. God has been very good to us.

    Schweigen

    Still muss ich Schweigen
    Wenn ich in die Stille lausche
    Ob dem Melodienreigen

    Still muss ich Schweigen
    Wenn ich liebliche Düfte atme
    Die mir ihren Zauber zeigen

    Still muss ich Schweigen
    Wenn Farben mich betören
    Ob dem Blumenblütenreigen

    Still muss ich Schweigen
    Vor Ehrfurcht in mich gekehrt
    Wenn sich der Sterne Lichter zeigen

  2. Ślicznie wygląda oświetlony dom i anioł. Ciastka pewno pyszne. Cudownie, że Tata ma już swoje miejsce i jest zadowolony. Wesołych Świąt. Pozdrawiam.

    Innere Weihnacht

    Stiller Zauber, Weihnachtszeit
    zarte Lichter, sanfter Schein
    liebliche Besinnlichkeit
    fällt ins laute Herz hinein

    Halte inne - Stille ganz
    atme Ruhe, tief und fein
    leise Klänge, Kerzenglanz
    hauche Wärme in Dich ein

    Schalte ab, die kalten Töne
    öffne weit die Seelentür
    sieh in Dich, erweck das Schöne:
    Frohe Weihnacht, Dir und mir

  6. Think I'll have to take a class in baking from Miss E. Beautiful starry pies!!! How does she get those beautiful edged cups????? O, I feel like such a beginner, which I in fact am when it comes to starry pies.... Should I remove my post I just posted I'm wondering now..... ;-) Well no, I'm not at all perfect and I don't mind. Tell Miss E she's a great great baker from me, will you?
    Have a lovely Christmas Eve.
