We picked up our tree though, from a nice non-profit lot on 82nd. Our house now has tree and lights in the front. Mississippi was afraid of the tree at first but has warmed up to it. I hope she leaves the ornaments alone. So far so good. We rewarded her with a new doggy bed for her early Christmas present. She loves it as long as we are on the couch but the minute we vacate, she&#8217;s back on the couch. She doesn&#8217;t like to share the couch with us all that much, she wants it all to herself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/angrypirate\/4147285789\/\" title=\"missisppi's new bed by Alanna Risse, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2674\/4147285789_4fef95ae47.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"missisppi's new bed\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was yard work day. I finally took down the tomato plants and put some ferns in the strawberry baskets so we&#8217;ll have a little green throughout the season. We brought the money tree inside for the winter and Tom raked all the leaves in the backyard. We went through a bag of ancient computer cables and I did a little tidying in the garage. Dinner last night was an amazing roast turkey with green beans and leftover yams.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday I had craft night with Tricia and her daughter Ella. Tricia made this very cute reindeer:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/angrypirate\/4148043140\/\" title=\"tricia's reindeer by Alanna Risse, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2495\/4148043140_f428828eb2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"tricia's reindeer\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>and I made this um&#8230; lovely lampshade which Ella promises to cherrish forever:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/angrypirate\/4148042982\/\" title=\"lamp shade by Alanna Risse, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2692\/4148042982_e3f7d9b3bf.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"lamp shade\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a little sad to be back at work.
