One day closer...



and, as soon as E leaves for his cardio check in today, I'll become a wrapping fool. I have about an hour of opportunity to get all his things done. Wrapping the kids gifts is no biggie as he has already seen them. He had to go back to the dermo dr. yesterday to get a stitch removed that had escaped being removed the first time around and that would have been the perfect opportunity for me to wrap but I was out and about getting the last of his gifts so that one went by the wayside.

We searched high and low this year for what is known as a candy cane poinsettia. He bought me one our last Christmas in Ft. Myers and we have not seen one since. The one here is not a candy cane but is so pretty I just had to include it on the blog. We went to a miniature train and flower exhibit three winters ago in St. Louis and all the flowers pictured on my blog have been from those I saw at the Missouri Botanical Gardens along with a Dale Chihuly glass exhibit through out the Climatron. E did get us two huge red poinsettia plants for the pots that sit on our lower lawn and they look so festive.

Hope your holidays are merry and bright!

Your flower pictures have been really pretty, speaking of wrapping that's my afternoon project.
Hope all goes good for E at the doctor today.
