Presépio is Portuguese for "Nativity Scene". Follow along as we build this year's version of a long family tradition.

A stormy start to the season

The woodpile represents about 1/10 of what was covering driveway, deck, and garden!

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...
Hopefully I'll get lots done by the weekend - especially if I can convince Vóvó to come up for a day or two...!
