Our Christmas Poinsettia

This is a #poinsettia from last Christmas and @drrosannewelch has done a great job of shepherding it through the year. It just started turning red just in time for #christmas.

I think the secret is to not over water it during the summer months. It is a southwestern plant and used to dry spells until the winter rains come.

Thanksgiving in the Desert

The day after a rainy Thanksgiving the clouds cleared away and the sun shone through. It was still windy and chilly but gorgeously clear.

Interior, Il Corso, El Paseo, Palm Desert, California

This was the spot for our after-Thanksgiving Day meal. Amazing food and I loved the interior decoration. Up close you can tell the lampshades are made of layers of corrugated cardboard. Cool!

Yucca Flowers

Out on our yearly shopping trip on our way to my sister’s house in Palm Springs for Thanksgiving, I spotted these yucca flowers and I was able to get nice and close to them. Such lovely plants.

We have an old-fashioned cruise night at least once a month here in Van Nuys.

This Red Chevy was striking as it sat parked along the street and its amazing restoration shines out as brightly as the polish on its finish. — Douglas
