Christmas-ish

I just really like the shape of the tree.

We were house-hunting over the weekend in the area where the above shot was taken. The neighborhood is a bit too rich for our blood, but there was one, tiny house we possibly could have afforded. Anyway, we made our way to the Open House only to find that they'd sold the joint already and posted a note on the window of the home stating as much. Ah, well.

Christmas was a mellow affair. It was sunny and warm on the back deck, so that's where I spent most of the afternoon. I lounged in the hammock & tried to complete the NYT crossword. I barely got through a third of it, to be honest. The difficulty jump from Monday to Tuesday was huge.  




Someone shared this Xmas card with me and I think it's fun. I added the wee tree to mark where I am, roughly. :D
