Happiest, warmest solstice wishes to everyone. We went on a family hike after Thanksgiving and brought back this friendly tree branch. We had to drive home with it sticking out of the car window, being mindful of pedestrians and bicyclists along the way.

We decorated it with moon lights I've had since my Jesse was a baby (he's 24 now), birds, acorns, and skiers.

For Thanksgiving we had organic Cornish game hens, root vegies, and beaucoup pies. For Christmas dinner we decided to deviate and make Kung Pao Chicken!

Hope you all had a beautiful day. Loads of love to you!

I have missed reading your anecdotes and this is why. It’s a beautiful tree and so full of loving memories. I’d say it’s perfect.
