~Sights of the Season~

I am enjoying a slower pace after the Thanksgiving Holidays…..The days have turned cold and Winter has settled in here in the mountains of Virginia.

As the red bows are being put in place for the holidays, the color brightens the gray days of Wintertime…

Welcome Home for the Holidays!

And all around the sights of Christmas and the Holiday Season are popping up everywhere!

Community Lights!
