Living the Dream
### I call this, "Which Came First", get it? My newest piece that has been added to my Hillbilly De Lux collection...

### Yes this post could be titled
# ***"Living the Dream"***
### Or alternatively titled...
# ***"A Day In the Life Of"***
### OR ***even better yet...***
# ***"A  Super Exciting Day In the Life Of"***

### Well today was just like any day really...at least any winter day in Michigan, quite blustery and cold...in a word: nasty!

### The gnomes have all vacated their respective stumps.  They certainly were an ornery lot, yet in spite of themselves, they did indeed help to brighten this holiday season!

### They are all packed safely away in their individual bags to await the chill of fall next year when they can once again rise up and take their seats.

### Well De-Christmasing is in full effect. I do not expect it to be better for a couple weeks yet :P

### I am happy to report I am getting my money's worth out of my poinsettia!

### I thought this has a rather fish-like eel thing going on. Have you ever tried to pose a banana peel before? The bloody things are non responsive and pay you no mind at all!

### I am an equal opportunity grape lover!

Oh, there goes another one. Taking Christmas down and it is not even February yet! 

Le sigh.

I am happy to see you individually wrapping your ornaments and figurines. They make them last so much longer when you take great care of them. They just don't make them like they used to. 

The banana peel got me without trying. No need to obfuscate. You did a great job with the poinsettia! I am guessing it is because you keep the house cooler, you know, so the plant won't die.  ;)  There's no need for heat!!! Throw a sweater on it!

As always, a fun post to wander around. I hope you have a good night. Now stop posting! How many can I upvote?  :)

Upped and Steemed

Yes true but it will be February when I am still taking it down. :)

Of course, I do it for the plants' well being...Oh and also to lower my carbon footprint... Sweaters for the world :D I am a giver, what can I say???

Oh thank you for stopping by. You are surely a peach, you know that right :)

I clicked for the chicken and eggs, but admire the grapes the most. I prefer the red ones, but do like a mix of red and green most.

Ah es, It did cross my mind when I saw your house so resplendent in Christmas decorations - that has gotta take a while to put away again. You look beautifully organized though with everything carefully stowed away for the next season.
Your banana skin was some great art for arts sake. Hahaha
