We Have Begun!

After feeling pretty grumpy yesterday, I ended up having a lovely afternoon and evening. There were flowers in the office at work and I had a lovely bowl of matcha with half of a truly delightful Japanese sweet. It tasted sort of like marzipan but not almond-y.

Leo and Ernie picked me up from work and we drove over to Exile to pick up Owen, and then headed out to Prairie Gardens. The balsams are $25.97 this year but they are great. Super fragrant and lots of tall ones! I had to negotiate the living room tree with Leo as he thought it had an empty spot that wasn't good but I like some empty spots to show off ornaments. He finally agreed and after some more searching we found a good one for the dining room. So much for only one tree. Oh, and Owen got a little one for the media room too.

I did my best to capture Leo in a photograph but the boy has the instincts of a jaguar hiding in the jungle or something like that....very, very elusive...

AND, I got my new tree for the mantel...we have begun!
