and the year winds down...

A good day at Kingwood today.  There was a light snow cover for the first time this season.  Was wishing for a nice snowfall on the house with the Christmas Wreaths out, but missed my only one shot at it before the season ends tomorrow. 

I have been waiting to use this picture of the urn in some manner.  I have decided to use it as the facebook page icon for the winter months.  Jen had taken some better ones, but since she removed her pictues from the Kingwood Facebook, I am going to have to make due with mine!

Kingwood Center - Gates Open Today

March 1st.  My guy and I headed over to Kingwood for a walk.  I took the picture to the left and put it on the Kingwood Center facebook page. 

The ducks and peacocks were happy to see that we remembered to bring a few quarters for corn.

Christmas Traditions - Gingerbread House in Libary

by Mansfield Garden Club 

Michael L., an architect from Columbus, created a scale model of Kingwood Hall.  Gingerbread was baked with his wife's help and the Mansfield Garden Club decorated and assembled the house.  It is amazing to see, but becomes magical at night as a warm glow luminates from the windows.  If a gingerbread Kingwood Hall isn't enough for awe, the gingerbread men standing on hedge apples and a tree decorated entirely from handmade ornaments should be enough. 

The hair on the gingerbread men was formed by using a garlic press and the candy cane hearts are adorable.  My guy really liked how the packages under the tree were wrapped in brown paper with ribbon.
