Come on in friends, and Merry Christmas!


Good grief! That door really needs painting. Anyhow, not much planned here for Christmas this year. In fact, we have nothing planned. Guess it will be just Poppy and me. 

This is the first year ever that I didn't put up a tree in the living room. I did, however, put up a small tree on the teeny tiny front porch...


It's hard to get good pictures. The porch is small, and I can't back up far enough. :)

Poppy cut a big cedar limb, that needed to be cut anyway. It grew out over the dam and got in the way of his mowing. Anyhow, I had a big No. 2 tub of green cedar to use for decorating...


My friend Karen made the pretty Christmas pillows and gave them to me. I love them!

And here's the old cupboard filled with cedar that doesn't show up too well...


Oh my gosh, I left my dusting rag in the chair! We did get another Santa poster for the big old barnwood frame. A windstorm year before last ripped the old one into pieces. 

That's about it for outside. Let's go in, I'll show you my pretty polished red delicious apples...


It just wouldn't be Christmas without them. I buy a two or three every time I go to the store...I've eaten one almost every day in December. Reminds me of Christmases long ago when we got a red delicious apple in our stocking. 

and I bought a small Poinsettia for the table...


So, this is my little Christmas post for December 2025. I mostly wanted to wish all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Thank you for putting up with me for another year. 

I love you and appreciate you dear friends.

Smokey and a big red apple

Looks like ole sweet Mokey is about to outgrow the rocking chair...
actually, somebody put that rooster pillow in the chair and took up most of the room.

Don't you dread the morning you're scheduled for blood work and can't have your coffee? Wouldn't be so bad if I were a late sleeper, but I'm not.  I'm usually putting the coffee on at 4:30 every morning.

Anyhow, I was at the doctor's office at 8:00 when the receptionist unlocked the door. One guy beat me in, but still I was done by 8:30. The mug of coffee waiting in the car was cold but delicious.

Shoot, I was in Walmart shopping before 9:00. See the Red Delicious apple I bought...

Red Delicious apples bring back lots of memories...especially of Christmas. There was always a big one in our Christmas stocking on Christmas morning.

and Mama's fruit bowl was always filled with Red Delicious apples. She used to wash and dry the apples, then with the dish towel, polish each one until it sparkled. Apples way too pretty to eat.

I bought only one Red Delicious, for me, for old times sake. Then bought a bag of Sweet Tango and a bag of Ambrosia. So many new varieties to choose from now. Do you love apples?

Not much of a post but I need to get back in the sewing room and try to sew a little. I appreciate your visiting.

Love,
Henny
