The holidays are over. We now head into the deep of winter here in New England. It is time to batten down the hatches for a few months.
I have defrocked the tree and put it into its box. The ornaments are ready to go back into storage.
I still have windows to plastic and some work to do down in the cellar to get ready for the real cold that is coming in over the next few weeks and hopefully the snow. We really need some snow to get rid of this drought.
I have a huge pile of brush to burn, but right now I think we are still in a fire ban until January 15.
I also have three rooms to put back together upstairs at the Vicarage. The holidays kind of turned them into catchall spaces. It’s time to rectify that and to get ready for the Spring.
It will be here before we know it. So much to do before the tulips bloom!
WHAT ARE YOUR WINTER PROJECTS?
Notes From the Vicarage

I love „defrock the Christmas tree”! I have yet to do mine. I’d like to leave it up till candlemas, the Polish custom, but I fear it will start to divest itself of everything sooner, as it dries!

I thought about leaving it up, but it took up too much room in the front entry.
