After a really nasty weather-weekend, we are just thankful that the worst of the storm passed to the south of us and we don’t live anywhere near electricity-free Toronto this Christmas.

Today, Christmas Eve it is a beautiful, bright, sunny -15C and the garden looks gorgeous.

All’s well with the world …
