This is just a spot to visit, of one who is on a journey. You can see my projects, plants, family, pets, artworks, antiques and anything else that comes along.

Middle of the Week.....
The tree is just for show. I want it to be seen from the road and it does look good from the outside. I place the larger ornaments that are glass blown on it and the bubble lights seem to fit in with that theme.
My Christmas geese always put out a great attitude. They are some of my favorites. They remind me of the geese I would see walking in line heading toward a pond. We would drive by and there was always something moving around. The farm was a traditional one with lots of chickens, ducks and geese wandering freely. I am sure the geese had been up to a feeding area and were then headed back to the pond for a swim.
We watched our "Polar Express" movie already. It just is something we do at Christmas time. I am reminded from the movie that "it doesn't matter what train you get on, it is important that you choose to ride. " The bell that is found by the boy that had fallen off of the reindeer bells set was actually a shinny silver bell and not a brass bell that were used on horse drawn sleighs in Iowa.
The trains that are running up at the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, are giving the kids a silver bell with a red ribbon on it to replicate the one that is illustrated in the Polar Express story book. They call their rides the Christmas Train. I hope their heating systems are sort of working because it is cold this time of the year.
A few birds are hanging around for seed but they don't have to worry about snow cover at this time. I thank you all for stopping by today. We will be off shopping again today.
You have a beautiful tree, Larry. And, it’s nice that it can be seen from the window view with all the lights and ornaments. We also watched the Polar Express this week. I like the music so much that I ordered a copy of the soundtrack. We also watched Home Alone and I ordered that soundtrack as well, which was done by John Williams of Boston Pops and Star Wars and Indiana Jones fame.
ReplyDeleteI love your tree. Fortunately it is not terribly cold here yet. You two have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThat must be the tree you can see from the street, I love it! Bubble lights are perfect! :)
