Deciduous trees, Christmas trees and yule logs

These little pasteries called christmas logs, a yule log type idea were a delicious festive snack that  Maribeth and I to enjoy yesterday after putting up our christmas tree

Here is Maribeth and I in front of the christmas tree after we completed decorating it.

On a less fun note we continue to rake the leaves that never cease to fall from trees around the chateau. We are hoping that perhaps next week we will rake for the last time this year!
