It's been a quiet Christmas at Micawber Towers - probably the quietest ever. We're both recovering from a rather nasty virus, so we stayed home to spare the family any chance of infection. We slept in, ate a simple breakfast, napped, read, napped some more, played a few games of Chinese Checkers, had another small meal, then watched a bit of Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers (we're a little behind on our annual viewing of the classic film trio). Then another nap for Mr. M, and some photo-editing and blogging for me.
Here are a few photos from last week's (pre-virus) Christmas-tree-cutting excursion, which took place under a brilliant December sky....
I hope your Christmas was merry and bright!

Beautiful images of your tree outing. I hope the much needed rest has you both feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tammy, we are feeling much better now. It was nice to have a quiet Christmas for a change.
DeleteHappy New Year to you!
Lovely images of your pre-Christmas outing. Sorry to hear about the virus that knocked you both out at Christmastime. Having a quiet time is lovely too! I'm going to do that now the hustle and bustle of Christmas is behind us!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll soon be feeling completely well soon.
Thank you, Sandra. I hope your New Year is off to a good and peaceful start!
DeleteMerry Christmas, my friend. I'm so sorry you had a nasty virus. That's no fun any time of the year but especially not at Christmas. Take care of yourselves. Hugs, Sharon
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. Wishing you and your family a very happy and HEALTHY New Year! :)
DeleteSo sorry you were sick. Your photos are wonderful however. Blue skies have been rather rare around here all month. Im trying to stay active and just accept this weather. Knit knit knit seems to help
ReplyDeleteKnitting (or crocheting) always helps! Cloudy days are perfect for that. Happy New Year to you and the Fireman. :)
DeleteI hope you are feeling much better today. As you know I understand not feeling well on Christmas. Sending you love Sue.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling much better now, Mere. Love to you too!
DeleteI always love tagging along on your adventures. I don't think any where else in the world has skies as blue and clear as where you are my friend. Such a lovely place. So sorry you two were sick, and hope you are both feeling better. ((hugs)) Wishing you both a most Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki! A very Happy New Year to you also, and to Mr. McFloss. :)
DeleteLove the natural ornaments on the trees!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you both got sick. My Richard was sick on Christmas day, I was thinking we might have to make a trip to the ER. Oh dear. Let's all be well for the new year, okay? Let's shake on it! Happy Boxing Day today! (I know you know what I mean by that!)
I love the natural ornaments too, though I suspect that brown ball-shaped thing was some kind of spider's nest. I decided against taking that tree home. :)
DeleteHope Richard is feeling better now. Happy New Year to you both!
Looks like you had a wonderful tree hunting expedition. I hope you both felt well enough to enjoy your nice quiet Christmas and that you're fully recovered soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy, we did. And we did enjoy our peaceful Christmas very much. :)
DeleteI'm so sorry that illness ruined your holidays. I hate it when that happens. Who was it that cut your tree? It looks like a very fun excursion to get it. I'm glad you're getting better, tho!!

That was Mr. M cutting the tree! Some years I go by myself but this year he wanted to come, so I put him to work. ;)
DeleteHappy New Year to you and yours!
There is nothing to say against a quiet Christmas. Hopefully, you are feeling better now. All the best for the New Year! Holiday Greetings from Switzerland. Regula
ReplyDeleteThanks Regula, we are feeling better. Happy New Year to you!
DeleteAs always I love your photos. What a pleasure to go out into the cold wilderness and get a Christmas tree! I have never done that. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the tree farm we go to - it's not manicured and perfect, but natural and wonderful. The search for a tree is a bit like a treasure-hunt through the woods.
DeleteHappy New Year to you!
Beautiful photos! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, and Happy New Year to you!
DeleteEven when you're down and out, your photos still speak volumes!!!
