Like most of the country, it's been quite cold here. As a result, I was late in tweaking our porch for the season. We (and by "we", I mean Randy!) took down the pine roping long ago, but it was so cold that we coiled it up and put it in the inside corner of the garage until milder weather permitted our removing the bows (which I will reuse next year). I am happy to say that today I tackled unwiring all of the ribbons so I can cross that off my list. The wreaths have also been down, but I still had up the ornaments on the swag until this morning.

I always keep up the pine greenery and even the red bow until mid-February, but I take down the ornament balls and replace them with snowflakes after Christmas. It was too cold to attack that detail until now. Since it was nearly 60 degrees and I had a little time this morning, I seized the opportunity.
I added my snowman doormat, new pillow (click here to see the recent post of this DIY project), a little basket of pinecones and I was finished.
Even though it's going to remain mild for another 24 hours, the temperature is supposed to drop tomorrow afternoon and there's a possibility of precipitation in the evening. I'm glad I have the porch completely switched-over for winter!
What are you up to today? Whatever you're doing, I hope it's a good day!
