Since having the surgery on my knee done, I have started to do a lot of walking in the evenings.
This time of year is just so beautiful. I bundle myself up and walk the sidestreets of Stouffville. It is so serene this time of year, the snow mutes so much of the noise. Tonight was really nice because it is a bit warmer and a light snow was falling.
I decided to take some pictures of my walk tonight, to show some of the stunning century homes in this area, and some of the wonderful efforts made by people to decorate their homes.
Hope you enjoy!
This one is huge.
This is two houses. Love the icicles hanging down.
Very pretty house with a nice stained glass window.
Pretty house.
Special yellow bricks that used to have to be brought in from London, Ontario. That colour brick is not local.
More of the yellow brick with pretty gingerbread trim.
Church decorations. BORING! I know, I know, I agree about the whole commercialism thing and that it is supposed to be all about religion, but come on they could be a bit more festive! It is a celebration after all.

Main Street Clock and Tree
Look! Santaâs house.
I even ran into Santa!
Me waving to Santa. Hello Santa!
Happy snowman.
Quiet street, and not plowed very well.
Frozen stream with little bridge.
Electric animals!
I was getting this really creepy ecoplasm thing going on, but then I started to hold my breath while taking the picture. It went away, go figure! :roll:
That is Santa in a chimney on the left, the bear has crushed him and he doesnât come up and down anymore.
The best neighbours in the worldâs house.
Check out that pile!
Some of the snow from the driveway.
No more room for snow!
More shovelled snow!
My backyard
I will follow up tomorrow with my photos from my visit to the police station after a paranoid Stouffvillian called them after I took pictures of their decorations. :wink:

Some of the houses reminded me of those little Christmas village models that many stores put out this time of year.
