I'll post another when it's decorated and adorned and has had its final trim and dressing and whatever else the doctor orders.

That’s a beautiful tree, DR ChasSmith!  And the placement by the stairway should help when it’s time for the “topper.”

It definitely does, DR Ginny. We sometimes put the tree there, sometimes in the living room. This affords a somewhat taller tree. You could actually go WAY taller, but then the width at the bottom would block access to the entire first floor.  :)

Thanks for the photo, DR ChasSmith. It is a nicely shaped tree!

I walked to the nursery and bought some bulk wildflower seeds. They say it will rain tomorrow.

Beautiful tree, Chas. The placement by the stairs will make it easier for the cats to get to the top.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I'm reading Carl Hiaasen's latest book Squeeze Me, which has received several bad Amazon reviews from Trump supporters for its idiot President and amoral, vacuous First Lady, here known by their Secret Service code names Mastodon and Mockingbird. One of the President's supporters, a wealthy antique "Potussy" (POTUS and pussy), has vanished from an exclusive Palm Beach charity event, and an illegal alien in ICE custody has been arrested for her murder. Since his books are about the rape and pillage of Florida's eco-system and environment by grifters, whores, thieves, and others of their ilk, Hiaasen has finally turned to the current presidential loser and his Palm Beach cronies around his estate, the Villa Bellicosa.

I am enjoying it immensely.

Thanks for the recommendation, Larry.  I just downloaded it from my library's OverDrive. :) I'll try to read it next after I finish the two books I'm reading now.

I’ve read only a couple of Hiaasen’s earlier books, which I loved. Must read some more.

I actually haven't read any of his, so this'll be a first.

And an outrageous bill from Lenox Hill Radiology, including charges for x-rays from 2017, claiming my insurance will not accept them.  Strange, given that all visits to this company were prepared by my doctor.  I am not amused.

Give 'em hell, Har Larry!! >:(

The thing I thought was jam in a jar from the Darling Daughter was and is, in fact, a cupcake in a jar - she bought two cupcakes and spooned them into a jar - fun!  I'll have those today.

What a fun idea :)

A new “later”? Really autocorrect? I type “plateau” and you think I really meant to type “later”?

I knew what you meant ;)
