We bought several strings of Christmas lights when we moved to Arizona early this year. The novelty is that these are made from used shotgun shells. Sort of like recycling in a gun-friendly sort of way. I took a close-up of one of the shells and inset it in the image. Click to enlarge.

The Mama dressed me up like Santa Claws yesterday. Cabela and I were looking for a Christmas treat and I wanted the Mama to take the hat and suit off. Click on us to make us bigger.

Christmas Colors

There are natural desert shrubs along the road in front of our house. One of those is a small palo verde tree. I took advantage of its green color by hanging red Christmas ornaments on it. I think it looks festive and cute. Click on the image to enlarge.

Today, I put our little Christmas Nut Cracker soldiers alongside the courtyard entrance. I also hung about a dozen red ornaments on the green palo verde by the road. Click on the image to enlarge.

First Christmas Decorations

A little at a time, we’re going to decorate our little desert house for the Christmas Holiday. Today, I started out by trimming our little mailbox with poinsettia flowers. They are the plastic kind, but look very nice around the rim of the milk can that serves as an anchor for the post. Click on the image to enlarge.

Happy Thanksgiving! Our dinner consisted of turkey breast, mashed taters, cinnamon carrots, green beans and Verna’s Thanksgiving Dressing all topped with her killer turkey gravy. We’re all stuffed now. Not shown are the dinner rolls and cranberry jelly. :) Click on the image to enlarge.
