A little at a time, we’re going to decorate our little desert house for the Christmas Holiday. Today, I started out by trimming our little mailbox with poinsettia flowers. They are the plastic kind, but look very nice around the rim of the milk can that serves as an anchor for the post. Click on the image to enlarge.
On the big screen way back in 1966, Dean Martin played a secret agent, “Matt Helm,” whose main adversary was “The Big ‘O’.” Well, today, we have our own adversary – The Big ‘O’-bamacare. The erosion caused by this socialist and unconstitutional program is depicted quite well by this Ramirez cartoon.
Last week, we brought home several stems of Asian lilies that were on sale on the flower stand at the supermarket. This week, they have started to open and display their vivid colors. Click on the image to enlarge
This is the view looking east from the point where our access road meets the pavement. The hieroglyph mountains are in the distance and the wash runs downward toward a storm drain about a quarter mile away. Click on the image to enlarge.
Now that the lemons are ripe, we went to the “orchard” next to the RV drive and pruned off all the lemons. These are the “Lisbon” variety of lemons. There were about forty on the tree before we picked them today.
The bucket in the image to the left measures about a foot in diameter and is fifteen inches deep. Click on the image to enlarge.
Most of the lemons are quite large. We’re planning on giving some to the neighbors and keeping a few in our fruit bowl for our Friday fish meal.
