 Well, I finished decorating the tree today, with Apollo adding the final touch. Doesn't he look so sweet and innocent? He and Tookers spent the day wrestling on the white tree skirt - I finally had to resort to the dreaded spray water bottle, but that only works when I am there to catch them. I guess I'll see what's left of the tree tomorrow morning. Sigh.

 It is a bedraggled-looking tree, isn't it? The branches are thin and soft, so it was hard to hang things, and they are spaced unevenly, with some rather large gaps here and there. But it is typical for us, and it came from our woods, so I love it! As my sister says, I may need to get creative with it.
