Sunny Saturday
From the first this morning it was a beautiful day and the wind chimes were at it. Winds from the northwest and the temps would tumble from the morning. I did let the north wind blow me down Stauffer for a brisk walk. Walking home against the wind made me realize I need to dig out a cap and mittens before the real winter hits.
The south living room wall has the remaining five Santas . . . hung as best and straight as us older ones could. I know there will be help coming in the days to come, if it is needed. The Santas left plenty of room for our tall and skinny pre-lit Christmas tree to stand in the corner.
I purchased the tree last year in Michael’s. I had checked various online sites and I couldn’t pass up a tree for $49.99. Kersten unpacked the tree last Thanksgiving for us and set it up. A seven foot skinny tree was a great find. The options for a huge amount or ornaments on the short limbs is limited. I know Dennis would be content with just the lights. That may happen.
Jackson was the site of a trade show today that Dennis headed out to. It will give him a chance to kibitz with fellows he doesn’t see very often. There is nothing like swapping tales of who has the best selections on their tables. It has been four years since Dennis would set up his wares. Dennis decided it was more fun to be on the move and visit than to be tied down.
If I didn’t know better, I would swear the wayward boxelder bugs are arriving in my studio from the tile around the perimeter. One a day, two a day . . . too many.
The aroma of scones baking never gets old even if they went into the oven from a frozen state.
