Christmas Tree

Last night Arthur put up the Christmas tree and just a couple of ornaments and today while I was home with my foot up resting I watched Sylvester, our cat, climb the tree.  Yikes, with a bum foot I couldn't get up to stop him and he decided to ignore me saying NO, clapping, and other noises to get him to stop.  Tomorrow I will be armed with a squirt bottle.  Tonight Arthur has added a few more ornaments and the tree currently looks like this:

 I purposely put my foot in the shot to document this time as we usually have the tree done in one night and it looks like this year will take several days to get it decorated.  Is your tree up yet?  If so is it decorated?

Foot, fish and flowers

Today was a tough day.  I am having foot surgery in a week and a half and unfortunately I overdid it on Friday and Saturday so I spent today lying around while Arthur cooked for me and took care of me.  I feel bad that he had to spend his day off taking care of me.  I know he didn't mind but I still wish I could have done more for myself.  After taking care of me he went outside and raked leaves and found out that one of my favorite fish in our pond died.  Rocky, was a beautiful white and gold comet fish with a gorgeous big split tail.  I will miss going out to the pond and seeing him gracefully swimming around. 

On a more positive note yesterday Arthur bought me a beautiful gerber daisy as he knows I love them.  Isn't it pretty?
