Here are some better close-up photos of Christmas decorations at my house. Onancock Christmas Homes Tour today, 2-6.
Christmas wreath on my front door. Very nice wreath sold by the OBCA this year.
Second wreath on the wall of the porch.
Partridge in a pear tree ornament holder.
The famous gumdrop tree, fruitcake from our town’s Corner Bakery, and Peppermint Bark Shortbread balls (”bite size hand cut pieces of shortbread drenched in dark chocolate then again in peppermint bark coating speckled with red candy pieces”) purchased at the North Street Gourmet Market downtown.
My “craft project” - a branch cut from a tree in my yard, stuck into a flowerpot full of sand, with 3 dove ornaments clipped to the branches. Instant modern Christmas decoration. Peace!

Here are some interior photos of my home … the first I’ve posted although I’ve lived here for a year. Christmas decorations are up. Enjoy.
Gumdrop tree!
Moravian Star ontop of one of my wardrobes.
View onto the balcony, with the outdoor Christmas tree visible.

A few years ago I ate lunch outside on the second-floor porch of a restaurant in Annapolis, Maryland. They had several flags mounted just below this upper porch, and looking out over the flags as they flapped in the breeze was great. I decided then that I’d have flags on my porch too.
My three flags are up and looking good. I’ve got two state flags from places I’ve lived (Maryland and Texas) and a University of Virginia flag.
The 3′ x 5′ nylon flags can stay out all the time — no need to bring them in when it rains. They’re not very expensive either. I wonder why more people don’t fly flags?

I put up my flag just in time. Our town’s “ice cream social” (featuring a concert by the community band) is tonight on the town green. I hope you enjoy the celebrations wherever you are.

Everyone else is doing it … so here’s my house covered in snow. Yes, snow in coastal Virginia in April. About 3 inches, which is a lot for us.
These pics are from a week ago. The current northeaster storm is just bringing us rain and wind. Lots and lots of wind.
Okay, you’ve seen lots of photos of houses and snow over the last two weeks. But have you seen a photo of the carnival-next-door in snow? No. No, you have not. So there.
