Fall’s Last Treat. Here’s a shot of a couple of gray squirrels feasting off pumpkin seeds in mid December.  I roasted some for myself and shared the rest with them.

First Santa Encounter.  Attached is Caroline’s first photo with Santa.  Our daughter Allison (Caroline’s mom) waited in line for over 35 minutes, all smiles.  Caroline placed on Santa’s lap screamed the entire time.  Removed from Santa’s lap, Caroline was all smiles again.

         Wishing you and your entire family a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.  Thank you for your continued support, and love.

Nifty Fifty. It was a Nifty Fifty New York City Birthday Tour for my husband Bill Piwnica!  Daughter Christine and I took Bill to New York City to celebrate in grand style over his birthday weekend, December 4-6.  The above picture was taken in front of the famous Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.

Checking Santa’s Socks.  This accommodating Santa Claus stepped away from his workshop and his elves at Eden Prairie Center in order to personally greet Michelle McNallan and her little two-year old tyke Kierra, who preferred to not leave her mother’s arms.  Editor Sue’s camera clicked the moment.

 

Cloister Garden Tunnel by Christopher Hall of Maple Plain was named one of the Best of Show at a display called “Arboretum in Motion:  Rhythms of the Season.”
