How I hate decking for Christmas when it is frigid outside. So with temperatures in the 60’s this weekend, it was the perfect time to hang the outdoor Christmas decorations.
One day this tree will be as tall as me. Until then, it is our Charlie Brown tree.
Elly has helped deck our home for Christmas.
She made an ornament out of Crayola model magic clay. It’s a funny face, in case you were stumped.
She filled our hand knit stockings (no, not by me. These were knit many years ago by my neighbor) with pinwheels.
She made a Christmas themed angel house.
Our local garden store, Achin Back, taught a fairy garden class today. Elly was the youngest at the class. Though I helped, Elly called all the shots. She picked the pot, the plants, the decorations and, of course, the angel. The end result is gorgeous and now sits on our dining room table.

Drawing a plan! HA! You show them Elly!
