Now that the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, it’s time to begin decorating for the Christmas holiday. This is my chili pepper wreath, now hanging on the bedroom door facing the great room. Click on the image to enlarge.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Nobody can say Happy Thanksgiving better than Norman Rockwell . . .

We’re still full from a delicious Easter dinner, so please enjoy this back lighted Easter lily. Click on the image to enlarge.
A Cardinal in a Mesquite Tree
No, it’s not the first day of Christmas nor spring and neither is this a partridge in a pear tree. However, the red and green complimentary colors make this photo of a cardinal in the mesquite tree look very festive.
We put out the seed bell for the birds a couple of days ago and since they are attracted to it, we get lots of photo ops like this. Click on the image to enlarge.
To all of our Christian friends, Happy Easter and to all of our Jewish friends, Happy Passover.
A Tale of Two Mountains
Mount Rushmore’s faces took fourteen years to carve in the sandstone of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Mount Obama took less than three years to build (admittedly with a head start from previous administrations). Ramirez notes this in his cartoon today:

President’s Day
The Town of Wickenburg has a policy of displaying the Stars and Stripes on holidays. Presidents Day is no exception. These flags are on Wickenburg Way, just across the road from the auto repair shop where we had one of the vehicles serviced today. Click on the image to enlarge.
Half Million Visits Milestone
Sometime between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the old sitemeter counter rolled past the five hundred thousand visit point. We don’t have a real high-volume visitors to the site like some of the Pajamas Media folks out there, but we do have high-quality folks like you that read our words. So, thanks for coming around.
The college football bowl season ends next Monday with the LSU/Alabama BCS Championship game. After that, you can expect us to post more frequently than we have this past couple of weeks.
