- Oil, 18 x 36 inch, Poinsettia Christmas Tree, © St Germain
That year someone gave us a large Poinsettia for Christmas.
Because it was so large, it looked somewhat like a small tree.
That idea reminded me on the song the Twelve Days of
Christmas, and worked it out on canvas with
some Christmas balls squished in between. Voila!
A detail of our tree last year
Had to get used to Texas where most houses have a
neighborhood association.
They are pretty lenient except for garbage bins
out of sight. They put up Xmas lights at the entrance.
A fantastic creation by Boo, our 5th grand.
Looking professional, Bro!

Oh, I have so heartwarming memories of Yosemite National Park! Among other things, we saw an adorable mule deer family here And a black cat that looked like our Nina… That was in 2012, sigh, so long ago, seems like yesterday. Do you want to see? https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2012/12/usa-4-tag-yosemite-nationalpark.html
I wish you and your loved ones cozy Christmas days (with seven grandchildren this is definitely a particularly good time!) And a pleasant change into a hopefully great New Year!
All the best, Traude ✨🕯️❣️

Hi Traude, I followed the link. You looked a little younger then! You drove up there, wow! Where I lived before (in the forest, we saw deer almost every day. Sometimes mamas with babies.Two of my grand children came this year, but we have to for the 3 youngest to come in summer (it’s a 26 hour drive or a plane trip) But we will have our son who lives/works in Holland here. Have a merry Christmas with your new grandbaby:)

No plans here. I just want to rest and be with family. As the year draws to a close AOC’s helpers have been dwindling into the early holiday mode. I hope we can all come back in one piece for a phenomenal new year. You?
