Happy New Year, 2012!

Madison's Sculpture Mile includes this very enthusiastic hand stander! I walk past this amusing sculpture almost every day, and I have to admit, it makes me walk just a little bit faster and just a little bit farther!  

Note: I just realized it was lame of me not to find out the name of the sculptor of this piece. I'll walk over on Monday and report back!

Harry & David's Pears were a holiday gift this year from my great friend, Mary. I don't believe I've ever had tastier. You can see I barely got the package photographed while there were still pears left in it. I feathered the background because I really should have vacuumed the carpet I placed the box on, lol.

My dark salmon-colored Thanksgiving cactus has finally bloomed. Better late than never! And while I'm mentioning being late, my Christmas Amaryllis is still a week or two away from blooming. Stand by!

  1. 2012 - can you believe it?!

    Wow, them's some thighs! True incentive.

    It warmed my heart to hear that Harry & David are still producing good products. I remember them in years past as quite delicious. [Well not Harry & David, their pears....hmmm that's not coming out much better....I'll just leave it alone.]

    I think we should start a new tradition, we celebrate Christmas on the day your Christmas Cactus blooms. It will make it very exciting.

    I hope you got to see the 'ball drop'' - ha, I stepped away for just a second, a second I tell you and that little sucker has already done it's thing...but I did get to hear Old Blue Eyes since NYNY.

    2012 Day One - Sunny and Bright and Joyful in Spirit. ;)

  2. I JUST WANT TO WISH YOU THE BEST OF THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR AND THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO TO PUT SMILES ON MY FACE EVERYTIME THERE'S SOMETHING NEW ON YOUR BLOG. PASS THE PEARS. I'LL HAVE ONE. THEY LOOK SO GOOD.

    I DID STAY UP LAST NIGHT AND WATCHED THE BALL FALL.YOU COULDN'T PAY ME ENOUGH MONEY TO BE IN THAT CROWD. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. NO THANK YOU BUT IT'S FUN TO WATCH IT FROM MY OWN HOME.

    THANKS FOR SHARING THAT BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. I SWEAR YOUR FLOWERS ARE IN LOVE WITH YOU. THEIR ALWAY PERFECT. I FINALLY GOT ONE FROM MY DAUGHTER. SHE STARTED IT FROM HER OWN. NOW I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET IT TO LIVE. IT'S THE SAME COLOR AS YOURS.

    WAIT UNTIL I PUT MY TEETH IN, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A GRANNY KISS FOR NEW YEARS. J/K.

  6. Nope, no tree. I have several little vintage Santas of different sorts, though. I leave them out all year long, but they look best in December, lol.
