The forecast was for a possibility of snow today and did it snow. Wickenburg has not seen this much snow in 20 years according to town sources. Of course, we, having come here from California four years ago, were like kids with the fresh snow.
Verna got to use her snow hat that I wrote about yesterday. Click on the image to enlarge.
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.
In the fall, I like to decorate with the traditional red, orange, yellow and brown colors to match the colors taken by some of the foliage at this time of the year. I got some yellow and orange daisies at the flower shop this week and they are in a vase on the sofa table. Click on the image to enlarge.
I bought a potted seasonal cactus at the supermarket yesterday. The flowers have already started to open on it today. Click on the image to enlarge.
We started harvesting the first lemons from our “orchard” today. In reality, we had to rescue some of the low hanging fruit in danger of dragging on the ground. We did, however, get one nice ripe lemon to garnish a couple of lemon Margaritas that Verna poured.
If you look closely (click on the image to enlarge), you can see the Margarita glasses are a couple of zany skeleton faces that we recently acquired for the Halloween season.
While we were in the grocery store this afternoon, I noticed a bin full of pumpkins that I thought would make for a nice photograph celebrating “Punkin Season.” Click on the image to enlarge.
