I hope you enjoy seeing some of the photos I've taken while on my travels.

Sunset between storms

I had just a few minutes to get up to my tree to capture the end of the day. I just made it! Not too much color, but the light was pretty, and the clouds moving in bringing rain tonight added to the drama.
My tree is growing up! It’s getting fuller and our hills and mountains are green again.
In Santa Clara County we’re 190% above our average for rain fall, but we still have a long way to go before we’re out of the drought. We need 6 more storms like the one we just had to get out of it the Meteorologists say. I hope we get that! Either way I’m already looking forward to Spring flowers. 🙂

Gingerbread House
Copyright © 2014 Deborah M. Zajac. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
It’s been a long time since I last made/decorated a Gingerbread house.
This time I bought a Gingerbread House kit to save me some time fooling around with a template, and measuring and marking the doors, and windows myself. As it turned out this particular kit didn’t have the door or windows stamped on the Gingerbread so I ended up having to do that anyway. It also didn’t have enough icing. Next time I’ll make my own Royal Icing. Piping, icing, and working with fondant is challenging. I need a lot more practice, but it was fun watching the transformation from plain Gingerbread to the finished house, and I think my Gingerbread Christmas Trees look pretty good with the house, and next year I’ll make a couple taller trees too.

P52 51/52 Christmas Cookies

I saw these in my grocery store’s Holiday magazine and thought they were cute so, I bought all the ingredients to make Gingerbread Cookies, and new cookie cutters in order to make them.
I think they’ll look great with the Gingerbread House I plan to make next.
Do you do a lot of Christmas or Hanukkah baking? Me. Some years I do a lot and others next to none.

It’s been raining all week so I dug into my archives to find an image to share. Who knew rust could look this good? 🙂
