Waiting for Christmas.

The Christmas this year will not be white, and it probably won't be cold either. To create the Christmas feeling, people here in the south like to get crazy with the decorations. In our neighborhood there are houses with the prettiest lights and decorations outside right now. We don't really have anything outside but we did do some decorating inside. I wanted a real Christmas tree and since we could get a small one for 25 dollars it wasn't hard to get one. So here's some Christmas pictures!

Today was a happy day: I got to eat my first cucumber! What a feast! It was the very best cucumber ever,  juicy but still crispy with a wonderful mild flavor. Nam! I love cucumbers!!!!!!!

I was surprised that the cucumber had spikes on it.  I had to scrape them off with a knife before we could even slice it. I would have never known they have spikes if I hadn't grown my own.  

I think I will go in the garden in the middle of the night to get another one.
