***Merry Christmas***

 
We drove over to Sholom Park one day for a nice peaceful walk.


It's beautiful in the park, year round!


And there are always flowers blooming!


I like the imprint of the leaves in the sidewalk.


And the beautiful Koi fish in the pond.


I'm going to take a little blog break but I'll be back after Christmas. Hopefully with more joy and enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone who leaves me sweet comments and boosts my spirits! 


Happy Holidays to you all! 


Holiday hugs, Diane πŸŽ„

I'm joining Mosaic Monday HERE .

Thinking of you and the sadness you must be feeling. Praying for you now, and praying that God will give you peace and comfort in the coming days. I hope you will enjoy your blogging break. God be with you, dear friend.

Diane - a first Christmas without a loved one is always challenging. I hope you find some rest and solace during your blog break ... I am sure you will be out walking in your beloved nature - may it be a balm for your soul ...

Irma said...

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy but above all a healthy 2023.
Greetings Irma

If an enterprising Osprey or Bald Eagle flies over that pond the Koi population may decline in a hurry! All the best for the holidays and a great new year.

Red Rose Alley said...

What a pretty park. Love that fountain in the center. The Koi fish are sweet, and I like their coral color. Your "New Year" jeep photo is cool. Great idea to put the wreath on there for the holidays.

Merry Christmas to you, Diane. I know how hard it is for you right now, and I hope the new year brings you many blessings.
