It's still a few days before Thanksgiving.
And I know how SWMBO puts off any Christmas decorating as long as she can.
That's why I was agape when she brought this home from a brief shopping stint the other day.
Yeah, you've got it, it's a giant poinsettia plant.
I love 'em but we rarely get one in the house during the holidays unless the BRD brings one over.
When we moved to Mexico back in the distant '80's, I was amazed to find several of the blooming beauties in the yard of a house we rented.
As I told Judy, I thought they always grew in pots in the grocery stores.
BTW, in Mexico they're called flor de nochebuena, or Christmas Eve flowers.
To this day I always think of them as nochebuenas and have to go to The Great Google to bring the name "poinsettia" back.
Whatever you call them, they're beautiful.
When I questioned my housemate about it she said it was only $5.99 and they're normally 3 or 4 times that for one that size.
So the Christmas season has started early, even in my house.
Speaking of Christmas, the BRD emailed us this picture this morning.
And, speaking of the BRD, she sent a picture of her view this morning.
Do you have any idea where she is?
