Friday Photos/Fotos...

Before I post my Friday photos, I just want to express my deep sympathy for our dear blogging friend, Connie, who lost her husband, Jay, on Tuesday of this week.  If you aren't connected to "Nonnie" you can read about her dear hubby HERE.  My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with her and their family, especially through the next days and weeks.  Love & hugs, Connie.

I do have some new photos to share today.  We went to the farm (Joe's client) on Wednesday and I also took some photos of our Christmas decorations which are much reduced from what we usually do. No lights outside this year and I didn't unpack our extensive porcelain Nativity scene.

We didn't put up the collectible Nativity but do have this one that

spells CHRIST.  I put a crocheted tree behind it, made by my mom.

My dear friend, Melody, who died this year, made this wreath for me years ago.

I used to have it on my office door when I was working.

I didn't put my blue soup taurine and candles away but rather included 

them with the hat and greenery.

Our tree is the smallest one we have ever had but we are happy with the way it looks.

It is not quite six feet tall.

I arranged some of our Santas on the table.

And on the shelves by the front door, another Nativity

and a few more Santas.

Can't forget Pink Floyd Flamingo... all decked out!

Our front door... Joy to the World.

I forgot to get a photo of our sign in front that says

Jesus is the reason for the season!

Cattle greeted us on our way into the ranch on Wednesday.

When I walked down to give the horses their carrots, I saw what looked like

an Eagle on the fence post.  I took a picture from very far away, hoping

I could crop it in and actually see the bird.  There he is!!

And here is the beautiful Doc!!  Pistol is behind him.

I was out of carrots but Prince and his entourage were still hopeful.

I did a selfie from my seat on the patio but went into the office soon

after to get warm.  It was cold out there!!  I was proud of myself

that I walked all the way down to the pond!!

I put a box on my printer by the back door so I could take it out to the

recycle bin.  Vinny found it and decided it made a good place to sleep.

We called the Vet to let them know Lucy got the collar off.  They told me to go to 

Walmart and get some premie-size onesies, cut off the snaps and put the remaining t-shirt

on Lucy.  It would be harder for her to get it off with her front legs through the arms.

This is what happened when I tried that.  We will let the Vet do it on Tuesday when she

goes back for her check-up. I'm not trying it again.

Lucy does not like to be held or restrained, even by her "mom" who loves her. 

Thank you if you got this far!!  I appreciate your visit and comments!

Peace & hugs!  God bless!!
