Holidays
Christmas Squirrel
This morning while hanging the bird feeders, this little antelope ground squirrel hopped up on a branch and commenced begging for a handout. This frequently happens in our back yard. Of course, I tossed some birdseed his way. Click on the image to enlarge.
Alex’s First Christmas
It just doesn’t get much cuter than this. Great Grandson Baby Alexander David poses for a snapshot clad in Christmas garb. Picture taken in Santa Rosa, California just before three months in age.
Christmas Trolls
Time to break out the Christmas decorations and my favorite Christmas Troll Dolls! I have been decorating the house for years with my little colorful and festive so-ugly-they-are-cute dolls.
We also decorated the Palo Verde tree out front with red ornaments today. There will be more decorations to come as Christmas Day approaches. Click on the image to enlarge.
Wickenburg Christmas Hat Decorations
Bob and I were shopping in the old downtown area yesterday. Across from one of the shops on Tegner, I noticed the town had put up some Christmas decorations on the street lights. On the top of the light fixture, there was a cowboy hat reminiscent of that worn by the town’s founder, Henry Wickenburg.

That’s one of the things we love about our town. It, and the townspeople, have character. I remember seeing the hats from last year, but they are a relatively new item in front of the courthouse where the bust of Henry (inset in the photo) has been placed.
Since we’re not going away this year, we’re looking forward to spending the Christmas Holidays here in tow, enjoying the character of our town.
