Our World Tuesday!!

 
Well, my world has been a rainy, wet, snowy, cold one all through the Christmas holidays!! It will be interesting to see if it will improve to welcome the New Year??? Somehow, I don’t think so – if the weathermen know anything!!! It does look as if it will continue for a while!!
But, in spite of my whining about it, it has been a wonderful holiday with a little of everything!! I’ve been more concerned about my son and his family in Dallas where a number of people died due to the terrible storms they have had there!
I hope you are preparing to welcome the New Year in your world just as we are here in the northwest!
Celebrate and enjoy and come back to share your world with us!!!

    Yes, the storms across the South have been horrendous! LOVE that shot of the hummingbird in the snow. That would never happen here as our hummingbirds leave Ontario in September and don't come back till May.

    The hummingbird shot is superb! I'm not sure what to think about the weather...it seems we have family in several areas where things are getting worse. Hopefully, your family in Dallas has come through the storms just fine.

    Hi Sylvia, Wonderful photos and thoughts! I am happy to hear you had a fine Christmas Day despite the weather. We Northwesterners are strong, aren't we? I do pray your son and family are well and without any damage! That weather in Texas looked really terrible! Thank you for your blog and your kind comments on mine!

    Beautiful pictures ... I hope your Texas family remains safe! Strangest weather in some parts of the country .... My daughter says at least the Oregon weather is normal, even if wet and chilly. It's humid here in Florida as well, but a very different kind of humidity. Hot, hot, hot!
