o' tannenbaum: a retrospective
Today I am paying respects to my dear tree. It is 25 degrees out with icy streets and all surrounding schools closed for the day! It's even too cold to retrieve a Starbucks beverage!
But here is our lovely.
She is perfectly tall with a nice full shape and branches sturdy enough for the heaviest of ornaments.
Does a tree convey the personality of those who dress her?
Our tree is smothered with clear lights, handmade purple ornaments and sprinkled with superheroes and coffee mugs-8 to be exact!
There are the beloved ornaments-the Washington Husky bear, crocheted Michigan hat, and the glittery kissy-faced seahorses I just had to buy on Hawthorne Street in Portland.
I love unwrapping the tree goodies because it is always a surprise what is hiding under the tissue paper and it always brings back a flood of memories.
There is a silver heart, Winnie the Pooh and Rudolph!
Darth Vader, Dorothy, and Big Bird!
This year came the most glorious of ornaments.
A rare and wondrous find!
