Lis's Project 365

I made brownies.  They look delicious.  They smell delicious. (They even sound delicious!  Raise your hand if you get the reference.)  And I can’t wait to have one and see if they taste delicious.

Since springtime, Doug and I have been leaving treats out for the people who deliver things to our house.  And today we got this note.  Merry Christmas to you, Ryan!

A gifts from our grocery family.  And they perfectly match the case that Liz got me after my surgery a couple years ago.

Our grocery deliverers brought us this cookie decorating kit.  These are mine.
It is possible that there is something wrong with me.

Sometimes Ferrous loves to hide in his tunnel.
See bonus picture for his lack of understanding on how the hole in the tunnel works for “hiding.”

As part of a work video, I made maple candy in the snow today.  It was quite simple to make, though the cleanup was a bit of a chore, with hardened maple syrup stuck to everything.

Our lovely grocery delivering family brought us a box of homemade cupcakes today.

In these times of COVID, Doug and I have taken to going for walks to visit the assorted houses in our neighborhood that are in various stages of construction.  This one is kind of insane.  Since last we saw it, they added front doors.   And man, are they fugly.

(A second night in a row of a candle flame photo! But not the Hanukah candles…)
The candle on the right has hardly any wick left, but it burned this wee little flame all through dinner without giving up.  A great miracle happened here.

I’m excited to be lighting the candles this year.  In the past few years, I haven’t been able to.  I guess it’s a small silver lining of this pandemic.
