Happy New Year

Good evening.
Happy New Year!
Spent the better part of today taking down and putting away all the Christmas decorations. Actually took less time than I thought it would.  It's nice having the house back to normal.   :-)
Didn't stay up until midnight News Years Eve, but did have some neighbors over in the late afternoon for an early toast and snacks.
We've also hit a few after Christmas clearance sales and stocked up on string lights for next year. We want to add lights to the back yard next year. That way we can leave the patio shades open later and enjoy the lights.
There's been several sightings of Coyotes in the community. We haven't seen any on our walks yet, but most sightings seem to be near dusk. Not really surprised considering the large numbers of rabbits and quail around.
Well, I'm tired so off to bed.
