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.

WOW! What a Christmas wonderland! I am lovin' all the nooks & crannies of vignettes ...everywhere! And you said 14 trees! Well, lynnenc, I'm seeing probably at least a hundred (in all your wonderful displays!) LOL! Love how you used mirrors & windows, too! I love the dollbaby on the pillows in the gold/silver tree vignette & that wonderful circular mirror on the wall with decor. Also your antique ornies are just PRECIOUS...that Santa & eggs. That basket filled with pinecones, greenery, berries & that mosaiced birdhouse just CALLS to me! Love it! The white built-ins look very lovely with your dishes...love to have dishes out where you can see them everyday! Enjoy! enjoy! What a celebration! I've enjoyed your home immensely! TFS! Jeanne S.

What's a "Chromebook" Beverly? Is that a new computer/notebook? We had a really lovely hot day for Christmas here in Australia. It rained a little in the afternoon, but that was good to help cool things down. I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve with our outdoor fireworks and BBQ. Kristene

Merry Christmas to all. We were up in Bismarck last night and then we decided to leave at 8 after we were done with supper and opening presents. The weather is supposed to get really bad today. We drove 3 hours in the dark and it was really drifting bad in some spots. I am glad we are home even if we have to spend it by ourselves.
