It’s that time of the year again.  Welcome to the 2008 Tour of Homes hosted by BooMama.  I am just tickled that we received our first snowfall of the year on Saturday, just in time for the tour!  So come on in, we’ve been waiting for you…

Now don’t be scared of Grey the squirrel, he  just loves the peanuts and seeds we feed him and his little friends.

Come on in to where it’s nice and warm.  I’m Lana G! and I will be your hostess today.

First of all let’s get you warmed up by the fire…

  28. I’m impressed beyond belief that your squirrel visitor is calm enough to allow you to get a close picture – perhaps my crazed terrier dogs make the squirrels a tad more nervous. Lovely home and great holiday mood – Merry Christmas

  29. I love it all – - – but how sweet that you got a picture of that little squirrel. We have a little squirrel that runs up on our deck to “talk” to our cats through the patio doors!!! Wonder if he’d be that brave WITHOUT the glass between them.

    Merry Christmas.
