But one thing I know for sure, I'm very thankful for family, friends...and my little place out at the end of Long Island. It brings me constant joy and peace.
Last Christmas I had a creative brainstorm. What if I created a scale model of the house to put underneath the Christmas tree? Sprinkle it with a little faux snow and it would be a lovely little tableaux...kind of like the tiny villages people put up around the holiday season, only mine would be more personal. When I put up the tree in a few days I'll show what it looks like.
I loved the way the model turned out. A paper maché likeness that makes me smile every time I look at it. Yes, the dogwood 'tree' in the front is a real tree branch from the front yard, and the cedar shingles on the roof are popsicle sticks.
I thought I'd post some Autumn pics of the house on this Thanksgiving to remind myself how lucky I am for this cute place...and some identical shots of the model from the same angles, just for the heck of it. Enjoy. And I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
