A warm and cosy Christmas
Noting for future reference: this is the first Christmas I’ve had the kitchen door open all morning, also the first Christmas I’ve been able to do some final seasonal tidying-up of the back yard, clearing away the last dead plants and so on. Not a complaint. It’s all good, and I hope my readers are having a good day too.
Update: This is the warmest Christmas we’ve ever seen, and rainfall is causing flood warnings in some parts of Quebec.

In 2015, it was over 20 degrees on Christmas. I hung my clothes out to dry. I know this because my Google Photos app sent me a “memory” of 5 years ago.

Correction: Upon checking, the memory Google sent me was for “this week” in 2015. So the picture of my clothes hanging out to dry was actually taken on December 24th, 2015.

Because of technical problems along the way, the memory of this blog only goes back to October 2017. But you and Google are not misremembering.
So I must have had my kitchen door open that Christmas Eve as well.

I remember that year. I had travelled to visit family in Ontario and only packed a winter coat. I melted!

We opened our windows and patio door yesterday, too. The cat was happy to be able to come and go as he pleased. 🙂

I had my door open all afternoon yesterday cooking.
In 2015 I was in Ottawa for Christmas. We went for a walk on the 24th and my son picked some dandelions for my wife. IIRC the temperature dropped on the 25th, but that was the first freeze of the winter.
