LOL!

Or, you can make a “snow man” out of tumbleweed. We did that too. Great use of the imagination for kids who never, ever saw real snow (Central California where tumbleweeds were plentiful and the snow never fell.)

A tumblewood tree could be very pretty these days with modern decorative paint that has sparkles in it and tiny lights, which were unknown in 1951. Martha Stewart was probably still in diapers when we did such things.

Youo know nowdays the teachers complain that they have to sped their own money to make decorations for the classroom. In my day they used to ask for volunteers from the class, and we’d bring the decorations from home and were glad to do it. Teacher didn’t spend any money, or time, thinking of how to decorate the classroom.

This could be really BIG!!! We could set up a website, build a catalogue, market our ideas to the rich greenies in Hollywood, Taos, New York...we’ll be greedy, but we’ll be rich beyond our wildest dreams!!!
Martha Stewart is sooo yesterday!!!!
LOL!!!
We have a “neighbor”, fortunately not in view of our place, who has decorated her wire fence and a dying cedar with a huge stash of wine bottles.
Another dear soul has built elegant towers on either side of their drive with old tires... Again, fortunately, they live several miles away.
I feel sure they are potential customers!!!
OK, I’m going to go move my water hose now.
Happy Saturday!!
