A Visit to a Friend's House


Crisp, bitterly cold morning.


The house on Long Island welcoming inside.

The windowsills decorated with bits and bobs for the season.

Brown teapots.........

How the cat used to love little Christmas trees like the one above, catch it with her claws and fling it about.


Pink berries and a lamp-post fit for visits to Narnia.
But so very cold out.

    Beautiful shots! Love the Brown Betties, I have three and they are indeed the BEST pots! Loads of snow here as well, but no blue sky- it's all one non colour out there!
    Happy Christmas to you!

    I had completely forgotten those lovely little stiff, wiry Christmas trees - brought back lovely memories. Happy Christmas.

    What a beautiful place to visit!

    Please stay warm and cozy! And if you must go in to Narnia, take a hat and muffler.

    Dearest Elizabeth, Your pictures made me so very glad that I put up the decorations in my house. Christmas "bits & bobs" as you say, always make me feel happy, and this is one house that loves to put on its best for the holidays. Thanks, Lori

    The first photo, with the silhouetted ornaments, would make a lovely Christmas card.

    Lovely photos in the snow! I see you have had the same problem with cats and Christmas!! Not a good combination! Cats are wonderful animals, but they don't like Christmas or may be they like it too much!!
    Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
