Brookside Gardens At Christmas

Hope you can stay warm, {am. It's 18 now here and windy. The top has blown off the garbage can out back but I'm not going to try to get it now. My helpers don't realize there is a good reason to keep the two bricks on top of that lid. ☺ I do worry about losing power. Extra prayers. 💖🙏

It was pretty, Lunie, and lots of PINK but not as exciting as some of the other areas. ☺

Ardy, Good that you enjoyed the children and then were able to come home and rest up! Very glad to hear Cheerie Lou made it home in good shape. A lot of focus on weather this cold Christmas weekend, with good reason.
When it gets this cold in Florida, and the demands for heat increase so drastically, the power grids can be overwhelmed. It happened back in 1989, my first Christmas in Tampa. The power companies have made improvements since then, so hopefully we'll avoid such problems the next few days.
Wishing you warmth and safety... ♥︎♥︎♥︎

Am watching Weather Channel - just saw that there are already rolling blackouts in North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and several other states.

Could be your most favored spot there Ardy.

Thank you, Pam. She got home in good shape. I was really tired b y the time we left and was glad to get home too. Kids are wonderful but I'm not used to having them around anymore. lol There has been a lot of rain but some sun just appeared. Strong winds this morning. Hope it doesn't blow the seeds out of the feeder. Hugs 💖🎄💖

Thank you for sharing some of the details of your Christmas brunch with us, Ardy. I've read all your comments with interest. ☺︎
Glad you left the gathering early if it enabled Cheerie Lou to get home before the rain worsened. ♥︎

It was pretty, AB, but not as spectacular as some areas. Thank you.

That must have been so pretty.
How lovely to be spending time with your family, an essential part of Christmas .
I put up a few decorations today so feeling quite festive now.

Thank you, Shirley. I had a lovely time in spite of the nasty weather. I got home earlier than I thought I would so Cheerie Lou could get home before the rain got heavier. 🎄

Thank you, Barb. I'm home now. We did have a good time with delicious food. 4 children ages 7,7,8, 11 along with parents and uncles kept things hopping. Hugs 😊💖

You're welcome, Jill.

Thank you, Faye. Other places were more striking. ☺ 💖🎄💖

Glad you are planning to wait for better weather. Good you enjoyed seeing the young ones. Hope the colds and sore throats don't morph into anything serious. No fun being sick ever but especially not on Christmas. Hugs 💕💕💕

Thank you, Pam. I figured this was my corner! LOL A rainy, nasty day outside. I just got home and Cheerie Lou is on her way home. What a blessing she is. We had a lovely time. Bad weather kept Linda's youngest and his daughter (age 2) whom I have not yet met from coming. The six kids had a grand time and were fun but I'm glad to get home to peace and quiet. ☺ 💖😊🎄😊💖

Lit up so beautifully, they must have had a large team of people putting up so many lovely light displays. Thanks, Ardy.
Enjoy your day with family.🎄

Very pretty display. Thank you, Ardy. Have a great time with your family. Hugs 🎄🙂❤️

So pretty in pink. Thanks Ardy

I'm sure you had a wonderful time with Cheerie Lou and Linda...please wish them a Merry Christmas from me. ♥️🎁🎄🎁♥️

PINK! I'm surprised that this wasn't your favourite display. LOL

Heading out to pick up fresh fruit and veggies to take up country. We won't be leaving until Saturday now as snow, freezing rain/ice balls are predicted for tomorrow along the first two hours of our journey.
It was a safe trip out to my niece's yesterday but now Dad and one of the twins has a cold, sore throat, etc. I don't think they get enough sleep...busy families nowadays...but the kids are so sweet.

A pink light display - perfect for you, Ardy! Thanks for sharing.

Hope your roadways are safe for traveling today, and hope you are enjoying your family Christmas gathering and brunch. 🌲♥︎☺︎♥︎🌲

Thank you Sandi. Merry Christmas to you. Stay safe. Heading out to Linda's as soon as Cheerie Lou comes for family Christmas brunch.

Very pretty! Merry Christmas, Ardy!
