Now that the Christmas season is over for the year, I retired the poinsettias and holly from the mailbox and replaced them with a nice spring mix of daisies and sunflowers. After all, it will be spring soon enough and we want to get in the mood for it. Click on the image to enlarge.
Taken on Christmas Day, 2013. Verna, Bay Bay, Bob and Cabela. Yes, it was shirtsleeve weather. Click on the image to enlarge.

Once again, it is time to get out the Christmas decorations. We don’t have room in our tiny desert house for a big Christmas tree with lights, but I always make room for a little tree, tiny decorations and lights and some seasonal knick-knacks. These little troll dolls come out every year – they’re SO cute! Click on the image to enlarge.
I went out back and climbed up the little hill where we keep the bird feeders. I took the finch feeders up that Verna just filled up. When I was just ten feet away from the feeders after hanging them, the first goldfinch showed up. He was followed by several other goldfinches and house finches a short time later.

This is one of many tiny blossoms on our lemon tree. I think that there may be winter lemons from this tree if the freeze doesn’t take them out. We will be covering the tree in the morning in anticipation of forecast frost tomorrow night. Click on the image to enlarge.
