I cannot believe that Christmas will be here in less than one week. I have been in desperate need of a little Christmas – or at least one of Santa’s elves to make an appearance in my home, and work a bit of Christmas Magic! Alas, no elves have appeared but last weekend Sam did go with me to get a tree.
Slowly, over the week, I placed ornaments on the tree. However, trimming a tree sans little children is just not quite the same.

“Like a rose in winter, red on fallen snow; such a flow’r is blooming where no other would grow. When in the chill of wintertime, while all the world was sleeping, love came as a flower…”
After a long day of work, this amazing and glorious sunset greeted me as I traveled home.
I hurried home to get my camera and snap a couple of pictures.
It was worth standing outside in the bitter cold wind to bask in the rosy glow, even if it was only for a few brief moments.
While standing in the wintry silence, I could hear a song in my head – something I had sung in choir a very long time ago…
The words seemed most appropriate for this photo.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happiness and cheer, fun for all that children call their favorite time of the year…
Things have been quiet around Casa del KatKnits recently because I have found gainful, and very rewarding, employment.
If you are still here, reading this post, I am thankful for you!
I spent the weekend trying to pull something Holiday-ish out to create a festive spirit.
And, I loaded my iPod with all my Christmas music.
It is doing the trick… I am getting in the holiday spirit.
I hope you are too!

He looks oh so cute and innocent, but do not let looks deceive you.
Pillows all off the sofa?
Evinrude.
Cat food out of the dish and all over the floor?
Evinrude.
Plants un-earthed?
You guessed it, Evinrude.
He has perfected the Art of Looking Innocent even though I am not buying it at all!
Perhaps I should see if I could get a good “end of the season deal” on a squirt gun!

Too bad this picture cannot convey the volume of purring that is emanating from this little kitten.
Because, trust me… it is loud!
Meet the newest member of Casa del KatKnits…
Evinrude.
As for Milli Vanilli… the jury is still out on whether or not she likes him, but there was an eye witness to some mutual playing earlier today between the two of them.
I am thinking that with a purr this loud he is sure to win her over, and soon.
