I love seeing that you have something going on bloom wise this time of year. I'll be watching for 'grassy lassie'. From the photos it looks like it can be left outside. Love the leaf edges and the thorn imprints on Agave xylonacantha! Thanks for posting.

I love the GORGEOUS plates esp ...& w/that t'cloth & dark green 'cut' placemats ...very pretty! And the chair ribbon certainly matches the plates! Everything is lovely! Window wreaths, too! TFS! Happy New Year! Jeanne s.

Babies and Puppies.... doesn't get any better and there are none here! Enjoy, enjoy! She is adorable!

We've had unusually balmy weather - just a flick or two of snow, earlier, but warm and green Christmas. When I see men walking with hands stuck into pockets, I ask them what's up with the hands in pockets - getting in practice for winter? And suggest to a number of folks that I meet in passing, that if they're in charge of ordering weather ... that they can keep doing this till March, if they like. Usually elicits a smile .. and often a comment in reply. ole joyful
