I don’t even know the name of this variety of ice plant, but it sure makes bright red flowers for most of the year. Today, this was the brightest feature on the patio. Click on the image to enlarge.
Crystal Penguins
These cute little Swarovski Crystal Penguins showed up just in time for my birthday last Thursday. I just love ’em – click image to enlarge.
Merry Christmas
The photo behind the greeting is the one I took last winter at the Grand Canyon. Click to enlarge. If you would like to see the photo without the lettering, go to Winter Canyon from Lookout Studio.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Happy Birthday to Verna
Christmas Eve is also Verna’s birthday. So, to give her a good early start for it, I fixed one of her favorites for breakfast – country-style biscuits and gravy.
Here’s to having a great birthday, baby!
Poinsettia Bowl
Tonight we’re watching a football bowl game – the “San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.” I guess that bowl game sponsorship is important these days, but could we just have them call it the “Poinsettia Bowl” and mention all the sponsorship stuff in a subtitle? It probably won’t happen, but it would be nice.
Meanwhile, take a look at this nice poinsettia growing on the front porch. Image credit, Verna. Click to enlarge.
A Christmas Mum at Mom’s
This pretty flower is growing next to Mom’s front porch. I’m not sure about the ‘Christmas Mum’ designation, but why not? The colors are right and ’tis the season . . .
