Those chairs are so cute! I'd leave 'em out all year too.
Jealous of all your snow. We're going to have a brown Christmas this year.
Yeah, I'm not jealous. I've been there, done that.
And those chairs are way cute. Where did you find them?
Thanks for reminding me how much I love Portland!
That grouping of chairs makes a perfectly wonderful yard art sculpture. The whole series was fun to see. I know what you mean about the daffodil bulbs. I missed the bulb bubble again this year. Glad I had Greg go out and sprinkle some flower seeds around when he was here for Thanksgiving. A friend gave them to me, and kept asking me if I had planted them. I know she will show up in the spring to inspect, so at least I will have some proof of my appreciation for the seeds. Thanks, GREG!! Love, Ma
That's a lot of snow...reminds me how glad I am that I escaped the snow in Utah for a warm Christmas in Texas. Have a great Christmas! Jen
