Happy December!! Here in my neck of New England we have enjoyed some really wonderful sunny, dry weather the past week or so. I love seeing the golden country side with the rusty oak leaves everywhere. I love the dried grasses and underbrush and seeing for what seems like miles when the leaves are down exposing so many hidden gems like brooks, stone walls, winterberries and even some homes that were hidden the rest of the year by foliage! The timing of this weather was perfect for two outings with friends, some scouting for the magazine, and for several extra trips back and forth to my folks house. My sister went away for 3 days so I was making the 25–30 minute trip back and forth 3 times a day. Dry roads and sunny skies certainly made it a lot nicer! And every evening, Mr. Red Door and I would take a different route to and from just to enjoy the Christmas lights. That tradition of taking Christmas light rides never looses it’s appeal!
With this nice sunny day we were given, I finally took some time to take a few Christmas pictures for the kind folks who have asked. I will admit, I really miss having that extra time to spend on taking my own pictures just right and editing them just the way I want them. There aren’t many full room shots but I think these will do and I hope you enjoy them.
Edited: I have had two followers tell me they cannot see the slideshow so here is the actual link for anyone else having the same problem.

Aren't the outdoor decorations wonderful this time of year in our neck of the woods.
I just made a Christmas mouse I aptly named Tasha Mousekin, after Tasha Tudor, she is a lovely prim mouse. I blogged about her if you care to pop by:-)

Hello Linda!
Thank you for taking precious time to share pictures of your beautiful home.
We too, have been enjoying some sunny, with little snow so far but very cold temps here in Idaho. It hardly seems that Christmas should be so close.
May you and your family be blessed this holiday season~

I don't always take the time to comment but I love your house and the way you use it as an artist's canvas. :)
Thank you so much for sharing your decorations with me. Makes me want to jump up and tweak a thing or two of mine. The groupings are beautiful.

Hi Linda,
I love all of your shots....I have got a few to put up, but I took them at night and there are some shadows, so I re do some in the morning.
Your home is changing, getting better and better. I love the simple Christmas decorating you have done.

Linda, thanks for sharing all the beautiful photos of your home. I always look forward to seeing them. Did you get the Pumpkin Pie in a cup recipe yet??? It sounds delicious!
Hello Dear Grammee L,
It is nice to hear from you again. As always I enjoy all the pictures. You do such a great job. John isn't up to getting all my boxes of decorations out of the shed attic this year .. but..that is OK because I am not up to doing all the decorating I usually do anyway...but we have our tree up and a few things around. It is all good. Take care of yourself. I think of you often. Hugs, Grammy L
I so love your style Missy Linda...Gorgeous! Glad you're enjoying mild weather - we are a white winter wonderland here (unless you need to drive in it - then it's not so wonder-ish....) Wishing you a great week ahead....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (PS - I think that is awesome that you take the time to go to your parents' home 3 time a day...wow....they are surely blessed...)
Beautiful as always Linda!

Thank you for sharing your Christmas decorating! So simple and just perfect! Can you tell me where or who is the designer of the redware bowl with the snowman on it I believe in your master bathroom? He is just darling!
Oh yes! I forgot your mural is amazing! Susan captured everything!

I can't see the pics :(
Vikki, no one else has told me that but you can try this: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/23963655 Hopefully that works!!
Sharon, here is Loretta's blog address so you can ask her directly. But please know your profile does not show contact info so you might want to leave your email address. http://mycountryhome-primgurl.blogspot.com/
Ok Linda, I thought I was losing my mind because all I can see is a black box so I strolled down through the comments to see if anyone else was having problems. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. But I did go to the picturetrail website and saw your beautiful home that way. Also, these slideshow albums always show up in my Google Reader and your post in reader didn't show anything but words. I'm not sure what you can do about it, but just wanted to share that info with you. Maybe you can go back to the post and edit in the website if others have problems too.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures!
I am new to your blog and just wanted to let you know how happy I was to find it. I live in New Hampshire in a 1730's house and enjoy finding blogs that I can relate to.
Thanks for sharing! I love your simple elegance. I wish you and yours a wonderful christmas and a great New Year.
Love,
Marie
Sharon,
I hope you will see this message. I already left one for you after your first request. Your email still does not show up. I wouldn't just send you Loretta's pics anyway. I would have you contact her. You can easily do that if you go to her blog to do that. Here is her blog info: http://mycountryhome-primgurl.blogspot.com/ I hope that helps!!
Hi Linda,

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family. Take the time to ENJOY and treasure your family.
