For those of you who have been burning with desire to know, here is what it looks like outside our window in the dead of night. This is a picture of the Christmas cactus as we affectionately call our little maple tree in lights. Looking more like a cactus, although there are those among us that swear it looks like the Christmas Chicken from a certain angle, the little maple glows in the LED lights against the snow.
Out the front, here’s a view of the porch and its lights. Very peaceful, very quiet. We are expecting wind chills today of -25. Nice day to spend indoors. And don’t ask why I’m taking pictures at 4 a.m. – that’s just another post all together.

Nice Christmas cactus! It looks like one of the aliens from “Cocoon”, or a peace sign missing the circle. It is crazy cold here as well, 11 on our thermometer, but the wind is 20 to 30 mph. Making it a nice day to be outside.
Up at 4 am? doing a little midnight baking again. Relax the troop surge at your place this week should tucker you out eventually. A full nights sleep by exhaustion, nice. Hopefully we will see you soon. The “I had a dream weekend perhaps”.

“I have a dream” weekend sounds ideal. The Nerds are playing at the Pickle Barrel that weekend. Remember them? We’ll call it a date.

Hi there. I hope you’re staying warm today! Frigid here and we’re not even in Vermont.
I love your maple/cactus/alien thingy…I love the way the lights give a gentle glow over the snow. I hang 10 or so lighted balls on our Rose of Sharon in the front yard and it gives the same effect. It has a peaceful look to it.
