My reserves were slow to kick in, but this latest sinus attack is getting under control. Ten days of h-e-double toothpicks and things are looking up.
What gets me back in? Family, Christmas. In all our years together we’ve never had a tree as hubby said he was allergic. But when I was sick he delivered a wreath for our front door. No worries, we don’t have room for a tree here. I couldn’t find our ornaments from last year but his mom delivered with: a tin poinsettia leaf she decorated while she was pregnant with my husband; an ornament her mother bought in Albuquerque shortly before she passed; and an ornament bought or made by my husband’s great-grandmother. They’re all out on our front door on a beautiful evergreen wreath with other ornaments from Margie.
All have Texas themes but one needed a photo so I took one of my brother-in-law fly-fishing out here so he’ll always have a place in our lives and at least on our tree/wreath. I haven’t been able to do much since we returned from Thanksgiving so have done a bit of holiday stuff, very simple as this is not our place and all our good things are in storage.
Perhaps I can get you photos, tomorrow. We did see an ermine last week, all white, amazing! And a coyote was quite close the other day looking for food. Luckily our dog was not seen out walking at the time.
Thanks for hanging out and commenting on the blog. Dee
