Five for Late December

1. How cold is it? Well, right now it's 22° F (-6° C) and it will get colder later tonight. At least the sun came out today, and I ate lunch in the car with my window open just to feel a little sunshine. (This was following an appointment in Front Royal and a stop to pick up a salad at Martin's.)

2. We haven't had much snow, although we were treated to a light snowfall three weeks ago.  There's a chance we'll see a little tonight.

3. Our trees may look gray and brown right now, but a sunset can still look colorful.

4. Next we see some trees that are colorful, starting with the top of a Christmas Tree.

5. Have you ever seen a tree made of poinsettia plants? How's that for merry and bright?

Some may argue that these are red leaves, not flowers, but I'm linking to Floral Friday anyway.

Have a nice weekend!
