I got the Christmas tree up yesterday which I like.  It adds light to the long, dark nights.

 And I love this little mouse who was sadly decapitated by the cat a few years ago.  Fortunately emergency surgery reattached his head and the scarf hides the suture line.

Yesterday I made gingerbread scones which were delicious.

Today I made Portuguese doughnuts which taste more like crullers and they're tasty as well.  I ate too many of them.

I'm bored.  The weather has turned and it's too damned cold to go for a walk, so I bake.  Could be worse, I could gamble or snort cocaine.  

Right now a trip to the grocery store is about as exciting as it gets.
