Plants love the rain

While we were in Florida, there was a solid week of heavy rain up here – 15″ fell (about 2 or 3 months worth!); but the plants all loved it, especially now with wam weather following … loads of fresh new growth everywhere. Here’s a few pics, including the amazing Broom, and a lot of healthy fish:

Bridgette likes this weather too – sunny with plants to shelter under!

Christmas!

Here is a Christmas collection of pictures including a decorative star in our house (which Bridgette loves to sit by and keep warm from all the bulbs in it), and more outside; and our Christmas tree:

Also many pictures of decorated houses around the area – I drove about to take lots of pics:

 

And here is Main Street in Gloucester, and the Gloucester Lobster Trap Tree, erected each year by Jeff Worthley with support from the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce – some years I help too …

 

And finally, cool pictures of cool weather causing fog above the snow:
