Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1

| Christmas shopping |
The weather is very cool today. Apparently this is the coldest beginning to summer in over 50 years. I don't mind. I love the spring weather (although autumn is my favorite) so I am happy for the coolness of spring to continue a bit longer.
Christmas decorating
Daughter J is a sculptor. She created the small white sculpture under the cloche on the left, and she also gave me the snow-globe on the right. You can change the picture in the snow-globe.
I tried a couple of runners but didn't have just the right one so I shall have a look in the shops tomorrow. I think some tall candles may be in order also.
In the garden
A bit of rearranging in the garden yesterday led me to look closely at this giant pitcher as I moved it.
I was delighted to see moss growing on it.
I love the way the moss is following the pattern. This pitcher and stand used to be quite a bright, light blue, but I am rather pleased at the way they are weathering. I hope moving them to a new position won't inhibit the moss growth.
This morning there was a spider web in my letterbox. I am surprised with all the junk mail that comes every day at this time of year that there was time for a spider to spin a web.
The poor spider won't have his web there for very long.
There are several types of webs
Work in progress
I have just about finished the crocheting of the elephant But I have stuffed some of it and am not quite sure how it is going to look.

These were added to my sideboard with the nativity scenes and a few glass,silver and gold balls.

- Spiral orb webs,
- Tangle webs or cobwebs
- Funnel webs
- Tubular webs, which run up the bases of trees or along the ground

This resort is worth a look. I would be very worried about waves coming up, but with the lavish huts they must be pretty sure of the water. Click here to see some beautiful and interesting pictures.
