The Streets are Paved with Gold.....


We have the loveliest Ginkgo trees in our town. They are usually fairly unobtrusive (except for this one!) and you don't notice them until sometime in November or early December when they turn a vivid yellow for a couple of weeks. Then they start to drop their leaves and there is a carpet of gold underneath each tree. Often they will be bare within a week. The drop on this one was accelerated by a small winter storm Thursday night.

If not now, when?

My new mantra, still in beta.

I found this when I was unpacking the Christmas decorations. Someone gave it to me at the office a couple of years ago and I've never used it. What am I saving it for? So this weekend it goes into the bathroom soapdish and we will use it for its intended purpose until it disappears in a flash of bubbles. Actually, I do know what I've been saving it for.....the grandchildren will love it.
