Magic of the Season, once in a blue moon

The last 2 pictures are of the full moon setting early this morning. This is the second full moon in the month of December, therefore named a Blue Moon. The next time it will happen on New Years Eve is in 20 years.

Happy 2010!

Bunnies

Bunnies just want to say - hope you're having a happy holiday season!

Hawk

Can you see him? This picture was taken from my little office window, and the hawk - easily 2 feet tall, landed in a mesquite tree just outside. I love this about living in the southwest.

Tis the season

It's been a really really difficult few weeks.

Doctors. MRI's. Biopsy's. I'm pleased to report, that all tests are inconclusive. It seems to be the mystery disease, with some strange symptoms. Blood test results pending.

Work. Spent a week away for my day job. Then came home, and have been working 15-17 hours every day - between my day job, custom orders for Woolies, and Buster and boo being really busy. Thank you to all my customers! I pray that all the packages arrive safely, please!!

My son. I don't usually write about super-personal things on my blog. But today, I need some catharsis. My son and his girlfriend, who have been together for a year, seem to be splitting. It's a long long story, and very heart-wrenching. My heart is broken for them. And I've been crying for the better part of the last few days. This was not your typical high school romance. They are not your typical kids. And we never expected it to end; truly, not ever.

So I go outside to get some sunshine, and what do I find? This put such a quiet smile on my face.

Horses, napping in the sun.

Tohono Chul Holiday Lights

What a great craft fair - that really isn't a craft fair.

Tohono Chul Park, in Tucson, Arizona, is a combination arboreteum, native american-sonoran desert, tea room, native plant store, that is not a store at all. For 4 nights in the beginning of the holiday season, the park is decorated in lights. There is live music and a celebration.

With just a few vendors, it's great fun! My friend Kathy brings a few goaties and an angora bunny.

Tonight is the last night for the event, leaving shortly!

Patient Kitty!

So......I have bronchitis, and am just lying around knitting. My oldest son wants to keep me company, but really he is just torturing me. Of course, his i-phone is constantly in his hand. And, of course, his cat is sleeping nearby. She is never far from him when he is home.

He put the phone down to do something (without thinking), and put it on his cat! A phone rest! Then he decided that was such a great idea, he'd put some other things on her.

Boo had to check out what was going on!

Poor kitty!

Don't worry, it was only a few moments of insanity.


Anyway, he made me laugh hysterically, which made me cough hysterically.

Saturday afternoon hysterics!
