It's Beginning....

...to look a lot like Christmas! 
I was planning on posting a blip of my hellebores in bloom today, but was really struck by how much I love my living room, all festooned with lights and tree, and the view beyond. Notice the pink in the sky over the golf course. And all those pads on the furniture are kitting warming pads...and it keeps the furniture a bit less furry ;-)

I'm ready for tomorrow - surgery at 12:30, home no later than 4! I'll be curled up on my couch in that sweet living room and ready to heal. I am so ready to be finished with this pain. Thanks so much for all of your very kind thoughts and wishes. I'll have my sister do a guest post tomorrow ;-)
