Well, we’ve been on a bit of a hiatus! Though we officially started back with schoolwork this week, I haven’t quite put everything together to do a weekly report. Instead I wanted to check in and post a few pictures from our 2010 Yule celebration. This year we made cranberry, popcorn, and peanut garlands to hang on the bird feeders in addition to preparing a solstice cave and enjoying our delicious Midwinter Bread. Here are some highlights:
Bounty for the Birds

New Additions for Our Winter Nature Table
Solstice Cave
I love the simplicity of litte brown paper parcels, wrapped with pretty yarn
Festive Back Porch
Courtyard Entrance in Back of House, Decked Out for Yule!
Bringing Home the Yule Tree
Hard to believe we had absolutely NO snow on the ground on the solstice! This was our solstice cave last year:
But we’ve more than made up for it since; there is at least a foot on the ground at the moment. Anyway, that’s it for now; I’ve also updated the Needles page with current projects and pictures of some of my Yule gifts. Hope everyone’s Holidays were merry and bright!
Just think now you can have an igloo big enough for the whole family to fit in this year. Good luck with next bought of snow.
Thanks! I love the igloo idea… we may just try that!
Oh, cool! We always do a solstice light nativity too, but didn’t have enough snow this year. We found one on a walk the other day and were moved. It’s pretty neat to see so many people adopt this tradition.
