A time to decorate

I went to find the house off of Peachtree Dunwoody with the bazillion blow up Christmas toys, and apparently they’ve moved. So sad. 

So here’s my favorite Christmas buddy instead.

When Duffy and I went to Big Trees for a hike over Thanksgiving, we saw an evergreen by the creek dripping with Christmas tree ornaments.  It was beautiful and brought great joy.  We had actually seen the tree with sparser and eventually no ornaments over the years.  Duffy and I went back yesterday to take a picture of that beautifully adorned tree and voila, it has been mostly stripped of its ornaments, save for a few.  There is a sign next to it now which says, “Please do not undress this tree.  It is meant to bring joy.”  So, it stands there in its natural beauty, much as we do before climbing into the shower with maybe our rings and earrings still on.

We drove by a big cemetery recently. I saw where someone had decorated a grave with a Christmas tree. They had also placed a red toy truck under it. Poignant is the word that comes to mind. So, today I took a slow drive, then a slow walk, through Arlington Memorial Park is see if there would be many trees. The answer is yes.

This unfancy tree is one of my favorites. It had fallen over. I righted it, and quite a few of the others.

Goats on grills make pretty good Christmas decorations, you might say. 

It is all fun and games until a goat ends up inside the grill.
