I found this on Friday afternoon. It's the holidays, and it's good to stock up for all the fun times ahead. Might help with the cleaning and decorating, too! Heh. :)
Shiner Family Reunion
This is my new ornament this year. It came all the way from Kauai. My daughter bought it for me on her honeymoon.
I had to get up on the roof yesterday to clear leaves out of the valleys. This is a view towards the greenhouse. It was a perfect day to be outside, very cool and sunny.
Chiquita is really a kitty dog. She loves to climb on things!
Debris on the patio cover is a big problem. This is what's left in every trough after running the leaf blower. Scooping by hand is the only way to clean it so the water can drain.
Got the front porch decorated!
I made the front door wreath out of barbed wire, antique garden tools, and a Santa star that was a gift from a precious friend who knows how much I like Christmas.
This is a pile of Woof & Poof. I've collected them for years. The workmanship and fabrics are exquisite. They have beautiful buttons and bells. I love seeing them every Christmas. I could do a whole post just on their faces!
Actually, that wasn't the first bad thing that happened this weekend. You know the old saying about how pride comes before a fall? Yesterday I dropped and broke the Hawaiian ornament. *gah* And I broke one of my favorite flowerpots while hanging a garland outside. Somehow I still managed to be happy. :-))
Today it was cold and dark and drizzling rain all day. I had to take a break from Christmas decorating, so I went shopping. I got 3 gifts and found this beautiful tree skirt. I've been looking for a white tree skirt for what feels like 20 years. This is the first one I've found that has a big enough opening to fit my tree stand. It has quilting, gold cording, and bells. :)
Last but not least, I found this while rooting through the garage looking for decorations. MONKEY!!!
