When does your tree go up?

Amber @AmbiePam (132559) • United States 4 Nov

My sister posted a picture of her Christmas tree. It’s way early, but apparently the kids asked her too, and she gave in. What surprised me is that she not only bought a pre lit tree, she went with decorations like these. She’s...

MARILYN Your sisters tree does look a bit skinny but it's pretty all decorated and I always love just having the tree lit and the other lights off. My tree is pre-lit and it does make it much easier than the old days when you had to string the lights on the tree,...

Have you ever seen the like?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (390916) • Rockingham, Australia 21h

When we first to the retirement village in Perth, we went to a couple of garage sales and bought several plants in pots. One was this philodendron. There are many species and varieties of the plant with many grown as ornamental...

Soup Season

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57902) • Canada 4 Nov

The photo is of a jigsaw puzzle that my husband put together. He uses puzzle glue and then I use them as a cover on the coffee table. It has nothing to do with the post. This month, all 3 plus days of it have been very unlike...

MARILYN I agree that we're heading into soup season. Today I'm making chili which doesn't qualify as soup but it's rainy and dismal here so it's a good night for chili. When it comes to soup my favorite is probably pea soup with bits of ham and carrots in it. But I...

Amber @AmbiePam (132559) • United States 3 Nov

Dress Up

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57902) • Canada 3 Nov

rakski @rakski (164366) • Philippines 3 Nov

It's almost 4 storey tall It's the mall near daughter's university. It's so bright and colorful., it's hard not to admire it. It certainly brings out a festive atmosphere. It can easily lift your mood.

Sirens.

rakski @rakski (164366) • Philippines 4 Nov

Almost every day, I hear sirens... Firetruck sirens.... And it is not our fire month. We usually have most fires from March to May, but of course accidents do happen. But recently, there has almost always been a fire every day....

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (142287) • Marion, Ohio 4 Nov
