Mabel wearing her jingle bell collar Christmas morning after consuming her Christmas goodies, and walking in the woods this afternoon.

Very pretty. Kitty likes it.

That could be a really addictive hobby.

Oh what fun!

Finished holiday decorating finally. Tiny town, it cost $4.99 in 1972. We didn't have much money, but saw this and thought "for less than $5 why not?" It came with a string of lights (long since replaced) 2 of the 3 houses, corresponding barns, church, 2 trees, and skating pond with a few...

Will you be spending Christmas on board your boat?

That must be a treat to see. The boats are all so pretty. It's a magical looking scene.

Don't they always? Ha ha You do have animals closest to my heart. We bred my mare (a grade Morgan) to an Arab stud long ago but unfortunately didn't take. Clearly your dogs are better trained than any of mine, excepting one sheltie who loved to pose. She thought it was an important job and...

That must have taken many tries to get them all posed so perfectly! They are all beautiful.

Were these left by the previous owner? You made a haul for sure!

They are not dead! I'm not sure where that idea is coming from. They *might be* suffering from lack of water, but I won't be plucking them out to examine their roots if they are already stressed from dehydration. I did check out the state of rainfall in Phoenix, and as I suspected, half of...

Thanks. I may try this.

They are certainly alive. I just don't know if what I'm doing is sufficient, or if I need to change the protocol in the interest of their health.

That's a good reason! For the past 20 years we had an artificial tree which still lives up in the attic, along with our lifetime's collection of ornaments. After DH passed, I retired our tree and ornaments, partly because it was a 2 man job to bring this stuff downstairs, and also because it...

Maybe this is normal growth for them then. If they were suffering from lack of water, I wonder if I would know. Cacti can be hard to read!

That's what I do now, and have done for all their lives. The problem is that cacti in the SW deserts are now suffering and dying due to climate change's extreme hot temperatures. I suspect that these SW deserts are also suffering from drought, since rainfall there has been few and far between...

I planted these little guys from seed about 10 years ago and they seem ok but haven't grown much at all in the last 5 years. They are on a windowsill that gets a fair amount of sunlight in summer, but sunlight is scarce here in winter. Also this room tends to be warmish even with the A/C in...

This year's Christmas tree by day. It's a spruce, not quite as fragrant as a fir but still smells nice. It's lashed to the walls with rope and sits in a bucket of rocks and water. This crowded hallway is the only free space for a tree in my house which is crammed full of a lifetime's worth of...

Beautiful! Love the snow covered photos - what kind of fruit trees are those in the foreground? We've had but one snowfall which is all melted now. Looks like another green December. We'll probably get socked with blizzards later in winter. At least I can still walk my dog so she's not...

:-) Still fun and something to think about.
