Lights for a little tree

I put lights on our very own little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. 

There is a sad story behind this little tree. Three or four years ago Poppy and I were plundering around and picking up old bricks at the land fill when I happened upon an old plastic planter which had growing in it, a half dead Hosta and a small tree that had taken root. Feeling sorry for the struggling little plants I brought them home. I potted the Hosta and it grew big and pretty. The little tree thrived too, in fact, I had to keep moving it to bigger pots. That was one of the trees I posted about that had grown big and the roots had grown through the pot and under the fence, into the teeny tiny garden.

This fall, the only way I could move this tree was to cut the roots off and then cut the pot away from the tree. I then closed my eyes and threw the little tree into the ditch. While out gathering cedar and holly for Christmas I noticed the dying little tree and felt sorry for it once again. I pulled it out of the ditch, brushed it off, stuck it into a pot, and packed dirt around it again. Now it has a special spot in our front yard. If by some chance this little tree sprouts leaves next spring, I will find a place to plant it. 

Tonight is Thursday! That means Thursday night football! Poppy and Dumperoo are in front of the TV and that leaves computer free.

Gosh the days fly. I mean to post every day but stuff happens and the days simply get away from me. Last night I was busy sewing. I got all inspired to sew when Poppy came home from work and handed me three twenty dollar bills. Jimmy, from Burnett's little feed and seed store/license plate agency...where I hang my bonnets and aprons to sell, brought Poppy the money to bring home to me. Jimmy said I'm sold out...so I got busy last night.

I finished this Christmas apron...

and this beige and white set.

I went into town to buy groceries this morning and forgot to carry the aprons with me. That means another trip to town tomorrow. Oh well, I'll stop by the doctor's office and get my Pneumonia shot, and go to the post office and mail a package...never a dull moment. Maybe I can make a batch of chocolate oatmeal cookies to take to Jimmy. One of these days I will remember to take pictures of that little store to show you.

Well, as Elmer Fudd would say, I am getting "vewy vewy" sleepy. Thank you dear friends for stopping in. Hope to be back soon.

Love,
Henny

I meant to tell you...someone hacked my Daughter Lynn's, "a mother's journal" blog of seven years. All of her photos and posts are gone. She has started a new blog on Blogger this time.
