Linking to Sunlit Sunday today.
We are the middle of a cold front. The heater just keeps chugging away and there is still a chill in the air inside. I am glad that Heather and I took the time to take the outside lights down yesterday. We are all “De-Christmastized” for now and somehow that feels great. I love Christmas and all that but when it is time to end then it is time to end. The photo is way back in November. The leaves have long been down and then replaced with Christmas lights which are now down as well. I cheated (those of you who know me, know that I cheat a lot) and ran the photo through Topaz Impressions to give it just a little more oomph.
I’m looking forward to the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions NFL playoff game this year. I’m a Cowboys fan so I just take it one game at a time. The Cowboys do seem mentally tougher this year than in the previous years and during the games the owner Jerry Jones stays in his box.
And then after the game Downton Abbey’s new season starts up this evening. I love that show and wished they made more than a few episodes a year. Most television shows just bore me to tears so I am really looking forward to Downton Abbey this season.
And sometime son and I will probably head to the gym to get some exercise.
Go Cowboys!
Nice sunlight through the golden leaves. We’ve got even more snow here today along with ice pellets and freezing rain. The roads are ploughed but it’s very slippery. Yes, we were out to church. 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Thanks for that reminder about DA. I’m a fan. Football in on my menu to today too.
Welcome to ☀Sunlit Sunday, Yogi. I like the play of light through the trees and wonder how the clean lines of the trees must look now. Like you and your wife, my Christmas things are tucked away, with the exception of a wreath on the door and a few white lights outdoors. They’ll be gone soon.
I hope your team is successful. I may not be catching any games, but I’ll be among those watching Downton Abbey. How did I miss that it was starting tonight!

Those are beautifully coloured leaves, and I don’t think a little photo editing counts as cheating. More like putting your best foot forward.
I like seeing the sun! Lovely shot. I was born in Dallas and I’m not a Cowboys fan — however, I did sort of root for them yesterday as I don’t like Suh on the Lions … I don’t think he should be playing football. Off my pedestal now! Happy New Year and a new season of Downton Abbey.
Neat to remember what the sun actually looks like. 🙂 Actually, the sun is shining here today but it is kinda cold.
