I have a potted weeping bottle brush tree impersonating
a palm tree with a side of chilies, for this year's design.
I always liked the glow of the Christmas lights at night accompanied
with our cool sixty degree Florida chill temperatures and some Christmas
tune stuck in your ear for inspiration.
Making due with a year or two old string of lights but have to make
up a new display every year. Nothing grand mind you, just something
new and different. Bringing this challenge to the season is just another
facet and reason in keeping the spirit of Christmas.
While at a friends house being an elf in setting up a friend's Christmas tree.
This tree is one of those Charlie Brown Christmas trees on steroids.
Nothing a few extra sets of lights and lots of ornaments can't help mend.
Not to mention a few bricks at the base to stabilize and the magic of
cloaking device (bed sheet) to cast it's spell.
The only thing missing is the early darkness that our short winter days
bring to complete it's magic spell. Transferring this man made creation,
in every sense of the word into a beautiful token of how much love and
memories that this practiced custom of Christmas brings.
As for things a bit more practical and scratching that gardener's itch. I collected
a huge pile of downed branches, to be placed at the curb. You know when you
reached that scratch when your dear friend has to scold you for working to hard.
Also four boxes of unwanted stored items in boxes cleared out of garage. Along
with one pair of trip hazard slippers, persuaded and re-languished to the garbage.
All with just enough time to get out to attend my evening Yoga class that evening.
Needless to say that I was plenty warmed up and stretched by the time class
commenced and at the end of class the mind was quiet. Just another reason to
scratch that itch.
