Oh Christmas tree...

 
I honestly wasn't going to put up a tree this year...just tired, hurting and not in the mood. I had several friends urge me on and I finally decided to surprise Michael. So while he was at school one day last week I put the tree up...It's a gorgeous tree but takes 3 to 4 hours to put it up.
 
 
 The tree skirt brings back wonderful memories of my Step-father John. He made it for me and I love it!
 
 
 Jenny was attempting to help and thought the tree skirt was her new bed, NOT!
 
 
 The tree is up and still fluffing the branches...
 
 
 
 Almost done...a few more ornaments!
 
 
It is done, yeah! Michael came home from school and the sparkle in his eyes when he saw it made it all worthwhile!

Nature photos from the past week...

 
 
I've been taking photos through out the week, just haven't been posting them. I was actually trying to get a photo of the hummingbirds that are still here, there is a buff bellied and a berryline hummer still here. We had a hard freeze this past week and the hummingbird feeder froze up during the night and they were trying to drink from it. I ended up bringing it in the house and putting fresh sugar water in it for them. They were happy then. I didn't manage to get a photo of the hummers but I did manage to get some decent photos of the Killdeer in the pasture.




My hibiscus got frosted and the birdbath was full of ice.




 
 The cardinals managed to find the new feeders I put out.

 Two mommas watching the young ones to see what they're up too...
 
 

 
 This young one was stalking the bird feeder...

 She didn't care if I was standing right there or not either
 
 
 The other young one was watching the stalker and me and there was no way she was coming over there, nope, no sir...
 
I wasn't able to get a photo of the hummingbird but I did manage to get a photo of the butterfly. I think he and or she was trying to figure out how to get to the sugar water in the feeder. The wasp have it figured out but not the butterflies....

Yearly Christmas season tradition...

 
Our local shopping mall has a big green chair that they put out every Christmas season and every Christmas I like to take Michael over there for a photo session. He has never liked Santa so I came up with an alternative...

I like seeing what type of photo ops the Mall has but I had a problem...Michael was not cooperating and just wasn't in the mood. I'm glad I managed the photos I did. I know as he gets older this yearly tradition may not happen so I enjoy it while I can still get him to pose!
