Christmas Eve

and all set for tomorrow to be (another) cold and frosty morning.
All the baking is done, I am just about to make the frosting for my Pumpkin Roll-Up (thanks, Lorraine - it smelled so heavenly baking), the presents are wrapped, C is working on his card for me...so I need to vacate my desk.
Here are some macro photos from the cold and frosty morning today...
The frozen insect in the ice is only about the size of my little fingernail. C saw the photo first, and then I showed him the bowl of ice when he was covering the motorbike - he was surprised to see how small it was.
One plus of the cold weather - no worries about leaving the cinnamon rolls rising overnight in the back porch!



One plus of the cold weather - no worries about leaving the cinnamon rolls rising overnight in the back porch! I'll roll them out tonight after my sister and her husband have left.

Kerry visit


We were down with my Dad in Kerry for the weekend. Contrary to the weather forecast, it was pretty sunny most of the time. I saw a blue dragonfly flying over the garden, and then this one came to land. My husband came across a whole lot of drawings of damselflies in an ornithology magazine in the house and told me what this one was, but I don't recall. Wish the blue one had landed!
Since rally cars were passing the house all day on Sunday, it was not quite as peaceful as usual.
