Yes, it IS the little things that make you laugh, that hold you up, that give you a break. <br />I'm aware alot of Eucalypts thrive now in California, as they do in parts of Spain and Africa. My favourite trees. <br />I'm hoping you have a wonderful festive time.

My family always does a traditional hot Christmas lunch, the last thing you think you need, paper hat on head, sweat sliding down your legs at the dining table...but then, hang on, the compensation is we don't take most things too seriously. It's the remembrance, perhaps, that's the thing, DESPITE the heat.Gardener in the Distancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478393904059307841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079722435186265697.post-55693911415650765072012-12-14T20:34:14.596-08:002012-12-14T20:34:14.596-08:00I've very much enjoyed all your wannabe Christ...I've very much enjoyed all your wannabe Christmasy things Gardener, and being another who prefers pj's over any other clothing I find it's these little simple things that count so much. <br />Your wreath reminds me of ones we used to have of eucalyptus leaves when we lived in California's Bay Area.
