Hey Christmas Is Right Around The Corner

 I still remember Cardboard-Christmas last year. I had so much cardboard from the delivery of the solar panels that I cut out two cardboard Christmas trees, and as long as it was dark it looked nice with the lights on. However, this year there is no cardboard. Instead we have lots of plant material to craft a Christmas tree from.








And when an idea grows in my head, I can't wait to make it into reality. Along the irrigation canal we have a sort of bamboo-like growth which, put together the right way, would make a great skeleton for a tree. And then we have lots of creosote bushes around.

Out of that raw material, and by using a hot glue gun, I made our indoor Christmas tree. I had just purchased some mini-light chain which I got wrapped around our mini-tree. And then it was all ready to be placed in front of our windshield.

This morning we did a long walk of nearly 3 miles (almost a record for Dixie). Went all the way to the end of the BLM property where a huge solar power field has been built over the previous 3 years. It is an amazing facility.




These palm leaves are easily 3-4ft in diameter
