Just because we don’t have a big Christmas tree inside the house, Verna decorates the palo verde next to the road. I trimmed (removed some branches) the tree over the weekend and Verna trimmed (added Christmas baubles) to it today. Click on the image to enlarge.

Our Arizona house is nice and cozy and we don’t have enough room for a full-sized Christmas tree. So, we buy a little topiary tree and decorate it with miniature ornaments. This cardinal and Santa are only about an inch long/high. Cute, though. Click on the image to enlarge.
I do the laundry on Mondays. Beethoven likes to help me by absorbing the warmth from the bedclothes when I take them out of the dryer. Click on the image to enlarge.
Verna prepared a Tamale Casserole for dinner today. I took pictures of her progress in the kitchen and made them into this little slideshow. Click on the yellow triangle to advance from preparation in the skillet to filling the baking pans, topping, baked and then served. Yummers! 🙂
I walked outside this morning to be greeted by this guy perched on a branch near the bird feeders. It is a Harris’s hawk. There were two of them, mates, I assume, browsing the area for prey. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Mama was putting up some Christmas decorations today and found my Santa Claus hat. I only wore it long enough to pose for the Daddy to take our picture. Click on us to make us big.
