The first year we were here, our Calliandra bloomed but every year since, it has gotten frosted and killed back before the bloom had a chance to be admired.
Aren't they just amazing?!
The Christmas Berries are all red, too! All signs of Christmas. In spite of how I feel, the plans marched forward to a great conclusion on Christmas day.....
Cookies got made, candy consumed, sneezes a-chooed and tissues filled........
I am glad we agreed to cut down on gifts this year.......

We really are having a great time even though 11 of the 15 of us have varying degrees of this virus!
(I am back at the helm after getting a boost of antibiotics from the doctors yesterday for the bronchitis-I am upright again finally!!)
We will be trying to get some family groupings and a whole group picture tomorrow!
We have a calliandra in our yard too and the hummingbirds love it! What fun having grandbabies everywhere :)
ReplyDeleteYou're in California? So am I! I always wonder when I see your profile pic if that's the Pacific Ocean in the background. Sorry to hear so many in your family are ill. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for all of you.
ReplyDeletewow, that flower looks really tropical! and I wonder how it looked before you decided to cut back on gifts:) anyway, I hope you'll all be fit again soon - ready to greet the new year!
ReplyDeleteEleven of fifteen have the flu? Mega bummer!! Are the four healthy ones good caregivers?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful celebration.
My grandsons left Dec 23 but not without leaving the "souvenir" of a cold which has now morphed into sinusitis! Grandad, fortunately since he had to work every day except Dec 25 and 26, did not catch it!
