New Home for a Christmas Tree

Downsizing today. I was attaching the sign when a lady asked if she could have the tree. We loaded her car, giggling.

Unpacked Christmas decoration boxes: found favorite childhood tree ornament and high school slide rule. Memories.

Collected 3 foot Minnesota deadfall cherrywood Christmas tree at Possibilitree’s workshop, Nordeast Minneapolis.

Walked round Cedar Lake, light snow falling.

Today’s low is -11F. Brightened things up by switching on the holiday lights for the first time this season.

Walked to Downtown Target to start and almost complete Christmas shopping: gift cards for mail carrier, etc.

Good weather today for hanging lights outside. Replaced 19 bulbs. We’ll switch the lights on closer to the Holidays.

Cooked Thanksgiving dinner: braised turkey, stuffing, the works. Great company. Now the easy bit: washing dishes.

Walked round Lake Calhoun today. Watched geese ready to escape from encroaching ice.

Willow on running route today. Heard otherworldy squeaks when the breeze shifted ice forming on Lake of the Isles.
