Today was a bittersweet day. I decided to take down the decorations around the house. Although, I love the way the house looks when it is decorated, I also like the uncluttered look of “undecorated”.
I reminisce just as much when I take down the ornaments as when I put them up. I use it as my quiet time to reflect. Tucker joined me in taking down the tree. Although he didn’t do much but give me the “look”. I felt bad for him He kind of liked the tree. He’s so human, I thought I saw a tear.
Well I separated all the ornaments in to keeps and throws (actually donates), my husband put the tree to the curb (I know it still has hidden decorations on it) which I probably won’t miss til next year, if at all. The needles are swept and the house is back to “normal” . I await the next holiday …oh yeah, my Valentine dishrag is out already.
P.S. Michael, I had a tough time finding that pickle. You hid it well.
