O Christmas Tree!

As promised, here are the pictures of our Christmas tree, a two year old seedling, dug from the front yard
and "planted" in a pot in our living room..  Isn't it lovely? 

For me, it's as a Christmas tree should be.  We never laughed so hard as when we decorated this tree -- the ultimate in Charlie Brown. 
We call it CBT (charlie brown tree) for short.  The picture is quite flattering!

Hopefully, the tree will survive us, so we can plant it back in the yard for next year.


Here is the CBT in darkness.  You're probably asking yourself, "is it a tree, or the lighted blob from the dark lagoon"? 
I don't know, but sometimes it BLINKS a little too intensely for my comfort. 

 When  I cropped the picture, I had a tough time figuring out which way was up....I'm still not sure I got it right.


Our dear Cody thinks our CBT is just as full of wishes as any other tree.  He sat by it (and his present--on the right above his head) for hours. 
Dogs are inspiringly, patiently hopeful.  They know that if they stare at something long enough, the thing will come eventually,
either by doggie telepathy or something (someone) else.


Note the tinsel on Cody's head, the hazard of hanging out by a Christmas tree for hours....hey, maybe it was the tinsel he wanted, not the present???
Yes, Bethany G, he did this to himself!  We played no part (except for taking the picture, which you wouldn't have been able to resist either).


And for the grand finale, here's my first ham.  What a ham, eh? (hee-hee sorry, I just had to say that)
Since it was on the same "roll of film" as the other pics I felt compelled to include it, besides, uh, it's appropriate for the END of the page, yes?
Sometimes digicams are just a little too convenient but, still! doesn't it make you feel Christmassy???

We have shots of people pouring maple syrup too.  We'd be more than happy to share them.

Love, us

Hopefully, nobody takes this copyright stuff seriously.  I just needed something at the bottom to balance out the paget.
