In fact, we haven't really seen the sun for days now. There's been frost on every-thing and freezing fog hanging in the air all week. Temperatures have been from a low of 29F to a high of 33 today. Right now it's 30. The sun rose today at about 8:45 and set an hour ago at 3:30. Never mind. The Christmas Tree is twinkling away, Don's been drumming along with one of his Last Chance Jazz Band CDs, and I've been making Good Kind Cookies.
Photos today are of the River Earn looking eastward toward Crieff and also of the White Church and the river looking westward toward St. Fillans. Below you can see some of the crochet work the frost has made out of spiders' webs. The one surrounded by wood was taken through the planter box trellis. If you can make out a bit of pink through the lower right centre of that web, you are seeing roses that have kept blooming despite the cold. The other crocheted webs are from the clothes-drying "whirly" in the back garden. Also in the back garden we have forsythia blooming up the new back fence.
Tonight we're out to Jan and John Southorn's for a drinks and nibbles party. It will be nice to get out and mingle with Comrie folk and share some Christmas cheer.
