Merry Christmas to You

Have your self a Merry Little Christmas, now....

The tiny Nativity is about 3 inches across and 2 inches high.

My year-round sparkly star.

Santa Baby- He's a bell.

There's a teeny tiny little ceramic ball inside,

and when it hits the side, there's a tiny little

tinny tinkle bell.

Love it.

This is from our vintage Christmas tree from 1960's,

when I was little.

Absolutely Nothin'..... and A Chukar...Chukka, chukka,,, chuk!

Absolutely nothin' got done today, or rather

I did absolutely nothin' but rest.

So thought I'd do a little "wild kingdom" program.

There was a family in Arizona that recently spent two nights in the desert

in low temps, evidently in an area where people hunt for chukars.

I don't know how many people know what  chukar is.

Then I remembered a chukar that came to visit one day, and of course,

grabbed the camera.

This bird seemed very docile and tame, but it is not a pet.  It is wild.  It seemed to be

a little lost, in a way,  as it kept calling,

"Chukka, chukka, chuk....!"

It let me get quite close, while taking photos.

It's a very pretty bird, and is in the partridge family. 

I haven't seen one since that day.

Here's more about them.

Singer 185 J in Jadite Green

Singer 185J has been sold,

and has gone to live with a very special person.

 

 I love these pictures. 

 

It has a new home and I'm very happy.
