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!

  3. As another year draws to a close, I thought I'd look back at what the weather's been like. Not because it's something we all want to reminisce over, but because I thought it'd be interesting to see what a full year's weather looks like.wrought iron fence

  6. The bottle fence is quite eye catching!

    An office building I know of here usually does a poinsettia tree in their lobby as opposed to a Christmas tree.

    Happy New Year!

  9. What a fantastic five you've shared.
    The bottle fence does look very attractive, the colours are so nice.

    All the best Jan

  10. Lovely sunset, and yes, the poinsettia tree counts (in my opinion). We are getting snow and cold in upstate New York, although we have missed the epic snows of Erie, Pennsylvania. Our predicted high for next Friday is only 6 above. That glass fence might well shatter. Brrrr! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  12. The bottle fence is an eye-catcher. And I like that the owner found a use for the bottles rather than adding them to the landfill! I have seen poinsettia "trees" in large buildings - spectacular! Happy New Year to you!
