DELIGHTED HANDS: AN AFTER DINNER WALK

AN AFTER DINNER WALK

It's that time of year--when the tangerines are just about ready to eat fresh off the tree!

After dinner, we took a nice walk to the 'way out back' to see if those cleredendrum berries are ripe (they are but more on that another day) but I was surprised to see the pond so low! It hasn't been this low since 2018! Bill dug this pond over a water source so it doesn't go dry but it can get low! The pond is about 100' long and 50' wide. The tarp in the middle is a solar panel which shelters the minnows when we have those random winter freezes.

Another reason for our walk is because we are puppy-sitting again but let me make it clear, we don't do much sitting when he is here! He is a very ACTIVE dog!

I thought you would like to see my Maple trees--they don't lose their leaves until December.

But it was a very mild month and some of the trees still have quite a few leaves.

But they are also growing their new leaves--see those little red mousy ears at the tips of all of the branches! That means it is almost January!

Beautiful scenery! This is the time of year when most of us have lost the last vestiges of color outside but you still have such a beautiful intensity of it, so it’s nice of you to share it! -Marsel

We always had a tangerine in our stocking. I look for them every Christmas but no one has them anymore. I’m not sure why.
