As participants in an old German tradition, we took Gertie into the woods so we could saw down a small part of said woods for temporary installation inside our house. Miller Creek Road, South-southwest of town in Lolo NF offered prime hunting opportunities.
Back from the kill. It was growing up out of the stump of what once had been a much larger tree.
On the way back into town, we heard this Jetta Passat honking at us. Who was it but Sarah, John, and Avery (Esmé's BFF, in the rear seat), just back from defoliating a bit of forest for themselves. And in their VW wagon no less. Truly it was a Christmas Miracle--or an Xmas Coincidence, depending upon one's predilections.

predilections? Mitch come on out of the library, I believe you have become high falutin.

Hey, I recognize E's hat. Isn't tat the yarn I got for you so we could make the same hat at the same time?!? Lovely!
Wow, Tater Tot is getting big.
Merry Christmas from a cold Ft. Collins.
What fun Ms. E must have had in the piney woods. Next year she will be wanting to do some sledding?
@PJ (dba Anon): I've paid (and am still paying) enough for my "formal" "education" that I deserve to toss out a $0.25 word now and then.
@NK: Hmmm, I don't know.
@PJA: Isn't she? Maybe if we stop feeding her she'll stay this size forever.
@mamalynn: We tried some sledding this year and it didn't go so well. Hopefully her attitude won't carry over until next Winter.
Alright,
