Waking up to the nice fresh smell of pine tree is amazing. This is the first time ever that I am 100% happy with our christmas tree. Not the most frugal way to get a tree but I was happy to pay for it because the proceed went to the scouts.
Today I found out that the reserve bank have decreased the interest rate again late yesterday afternoon. Good news for us mortgage holders.
Also today in the garden, I just picked a handful of cherry tomatoes, first time this summer. I think in two weeks time I will have more to come. Also there are more strawberries to pick soon.
Great day

Sunday we had yet another overnight snowfall and when I opened the patio door to let the dog out, snow fell into the living room! That means there is more than a foot of snow out there. It was minus 12 when I dropped DH off for his volunteer duties at the Christmas children's petting 'farm' at our huge Heritage Park. The roads had black ice beneath the snow and the police were frantic, totally unable to get to all the 'fender benders' auto accidents since drivers were not slowing down due to road conditions.

I thought the shortest day of the year was the first day of winter?
