If you look out my window you see some old snow and lots of mud and nothing green! As for decorations, my tree is still up until Sunday. Then I'll leave out the small white trees, the lighted greenery on the banister and the red/black Buffalo plaid soft goods around (table runner, sofa pillows.) I didn't put out all my decorations this year so don't have as many to put away.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-16455923227742534862021-01-08T00:07:42.465+00:002021-01-08T00:07:42.465+00:00Nope, in my case the one decoration left are the c...Nope, in my case the one decoration left are the candy canes from my tree. <br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-67568914209455887152021-01-07T23:46:13.765+00:002021-01-07T23:46:13.765+00:00I always leave at least one decoration behind even...I always leave at least one decoration behind even though I do a thorough search of each room.Little Red Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10779368064704797372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-647777769585423132021-01-07T22:24:28.452+00:002021-01-07T22:24:28.452+00:00I imagine in folklore it is either lucky or unluck...I imagine in folklore it is either lucky or unlucky to find the missed one - fingers crossed for the former.wherethejourneytakesme2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331935561823130257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-41638748575732120772021-01-07T19:55:38.305+00:002021-01-07T19:55:38.305+00:00I feel so much better knowing it's not just me...I feel so much better knowing it's not just me!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-87587927753516082912021-01-07T19:53:54.957+00:002021-01-07T19:53:54.957+00:00Seems I'm definitely not alone in this!Seems I'm definitely not alone in this!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-83527996298129351992021-01-07T19:52:51.592+00:002021-01-07T19:52:51.592+00:00I heard Martin Edwards- who edits the British Libr...I heard Martin Edwards- who edits the British Library Crime Classic short story collections- speak at a book festival and he said in this case the covers really DID sell the books at the beginningSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-29366170237970609172021-01-07T19:49:51.849+00:002021-01-07T19:49:51.849+00:00That sounds lovelyThat sounds lovelySue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-88785321984803972752021-01-07T19:02:23.890+00:002021-01-07T19:02:23.890+00:00I know exactly what you mean.

In plain sight. I knew straightaway that he would be there when I saw your picture! And - just now I realised that I had forgotten the two stone lions either side of my front door; they wear Santa hats and a scarf of tinsel for Christmas . . . so I've just been and undressed them!
