it's beginning

  ...to look a lot like christmas. it's official. all of the totes are emptied and the halls are decked. every last corner of my abode is covered in holiday hoopla. here's the last piece of the puzzle. 

the balcony.

wreaths and red bows.

 garland and lights on the balcony rails.

 inside looking out.

and a little virtual tour to bring it all together [be sure to turn your sound on. amateur effort. apologies.].

and a little something extra. even though it is sixty degrees here and i had my windows open all day, i made chili and cinnamon rolls to celebrate nebraska's first big snow. stay warm and be safe out there!
