Christmas Tree 2010
.I put my tree up the first week-end after Thanksgiving. It’s a lovely little fiber optic tree that I bought from someone at work about 4 years ago. I love the color changes and that it’s small enough to fit in my apartment. Brings back memories of my mom’s first favorite tree. It was one of those silver aluminum trees that had the color wheel that you put close to it, and the sliver aluminum branches would pick up the changing colors. Later in her life, she had a beautifully flocked artificial tree that looked as real as any I’ve ever seen, and the skirt was a beautiful alpaca fleece, it even looked soft in the pictures.

Evening of Snow Storm
Next Morning
Well, we had a blizzard yesterday evening and through the night. However because the snow was heavy and wet it didn’t blow around in the up to 40 mile an hour winds, so we were spared that part of what most people experience in a blizzard. This was our second snow of the season and the snows are coming late this year, tho I’m not complaining, we will have plenty yet to come. We didn’t get very much, certainly not as much as those north of us.

Can I come out now?

Thor is doing well and is such a joy in my life. He has been such a blessing to me. He only expects food, water and time with me. Well, and an occasional treat that I can’t resist giving to him. He’s getting older, he will be 5 next spring which is getting old for a ferret. I’m blessed that he has been and continues to be healthy, but I know the time will come when his health fails, then he will need me to be a good mom taking care of all his medical needs, which I will do with as much love as he has given me.
I’m still knitting on the comfort shawl, it’s about 3/4’s finished now. I’m also finding time to work on spinning the cria fiber, I love the softness of it as I spin it. I’ve found that working on the comfort shawl for someone else who lost a child and spinning that wonderfully soft fiber has been comforting to me this Christmas season as I find my self missing my youngest son so much.

Snow….you seen to have a lot more than we do.
Think of the happy times with your youngest son. I’m reading Elizabeth Edwards’ book “Resilience” and the lost of her son. Very touching!

We have just a dusting of snow this morning which is good. If it were much more it would shut the city down.
I love your little tree. The boys got mine out last week. Lights are on and so is the garland, but I still need to put the ornaments on.
I’ll keep you in our thoughts and prayers here.

Oh, I know what I was going to say. I remember that tree. I wanted a real green one all the years we had it. I wonder what happened to it. You know those trees and those color wheels are so retro now. 🙂

Darn, I’m sorry, that was a picture of the Lady in the Mountain from Alamogordo, but apparently you can’t do that here. Maybe I can post the link for you:
