The sun has returned to our corner of the world today. Of course, we knew it was there all along, right? But sometimes lately, I think we've all had our doubts. I truly don't mind a few rainy (or snowy) days, especially this time of the year. The rain makes things that much cozier inside and makes me want to fluff the nest a bit. :) But the amount of rain we've had in 2018 just boggles the mind. It seems that the eastern United States and particularly the mid-Atlantic states have all had a sopping wet year in 2018, but thanks to two almost back-to-back hurricanes in the fall, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia really got slammed. Decades-old rainfall records were broken. Read here to find out more.
Yesterday seemed like one of the dreariest days of all. I'm not sure why except that it rained non-stop all day, and the sky never brightened until near sunset. Soooo, I turned the Christmas tree on in the morning, and left it on until bedtime. I thought I'd enjoy it one more time before we take it down. I also took some more pictures because I realized that I hadn't taken any in the living room or foyer with all the candles "burning." Sorry guys; I said in the previous post that those were the last of the Christmas pictures. 😏
