Lussekater

In honor of St. Lucia, whose day we celebrated yesterday, we made lussekater.  They rose nicely.  This is the recipe we used, although I didn't have any saffron, nor raisins, sadly.  

Still, they are scrumptious:

Our tree is starting to drop needles.  I believe it's getting enough water, but the heat from woodstove dries out the branches.

We got a little snow and a lot of ice, it's very pretty.  I walked to our neighbors to give them something and took this photo from their place.

The Christmas decorations are lovely at the Fenimore Art Museum.  There was a gallery with Marc Brown's illustrations.  He wrote the Arthur children's books.

Mom arrived last Wed. for an old friend's funeral. She did a lot of crafts and read books to the boys.  She's headed home today.
