Decorating, fifth post

I was late ordering it this year, but it arrived today:

Another beautiful Wallace sleigh bell. It joins its friends from 1992 to 2010–including two from 2006, one of which was a gift from Jess and Laura. The more the shinier!

As soon as Tim does his yearly placing of the paper angels, I think our decorating traditions will be complete!

While working in the yard, Tom found this mushroom, most likely a Geastrum triplex (collared earthstar) (rounded earthstar). Allegedly, if you poke that little puffball, spores are released.

Dear Fiat:

I haven’t heard from you since I first communicated. But I just got a text from my friend Jim, who said I’d be very cute in a Fiat 500. And Jim KNOWS CARS, so it must be true.

If you’ve been planning to surprise me on Christmas Day, please disregard this nudge.

Sincerely,

Becky

Decorating, fourth post

Elf One trying to shirk decorating duties by hiding in crate.

The tree is now loaded with ornaments. That whitish thing on the bottom right of the photo is how Guinness has used a marrow bone to claim the Christmas tree skirt as her own. Every year, it’s her preferred place to sleep. She gets disgruntled as it fills up with presents, then after those are all opened and removed, it becomes her bed again. After all, why use one of the FIVE dog beds within snoring distance of the tree?

Decorating, second post

For ‘Nathan: Guinness knows it’s all about the socks.
