We have been getting into the Christmas spirit here in Albuquerque. Howard and I made a wreath to hang on the front door - we used an eclectic collection of dried bits and pieces that we found in our garden. It was the first wreath that I had ever made and I was quite pleased with it. [Do people make wreaths in Australia? It seems to be a bigger deal in the US.]
Then, I finally convinced Howard that Paloma needs a Christmas tree to celebrate her first Christmas, even though we will be in Taos on Christmas Day. After much nagging from me, we compromised and got a live pinon (from the wonderful Plants of the Southwest, just up the street from us). It's a little different to the pine tree that I'm used to, but it will grow over the next couple of years and we will be able to just wheel it inside in December. Besides, we don't have that many ornaments (yet!), so a small tree suits us just fine.
Finally, here is a photo of our little dove, snoozing in the afternoon. Peace on earth...
