I don’t normally get around to this decorating thing until way later in the game, but this year is different. I wanted it to be done early, because a few days from now, kid number 1 who left us to move to 🇸🇪 is coming back for #christmas . We’re all excited - he’s been missed!! 😃 #christmastree #christmasdecor #decoratingforchristmas #lotsoflights #caturday #lotsofgnomes #christmasgoat #kidcominghome#teasel #seedheads make are fun to include in #holidaywreaths . Those #curlicues are so old world - they remind me of turn-of-the-century ice skates.How’s this for an adorable #cookiejar ?

And with a backdrop of #jasminumfionasunrise it looks even better. Dr Hill wasn’t the only Fiona to brighten my life this week! #pittosporumebonygiant #mybackyard #mygarden #myurbanjungle
