It has been gloomy, rainy, and foggy the last few days but yesterday we were seeing orange.
Yes, that is our Christmas tree. We have not taken it down yet. We will leave it up until it starts shedding lots of needles. It is still holding them fairly well. We do enjoy the tree lights at night.
Sometimes we have to take our children's lead in seeing things in a "new light." Yesterday, P found one of the balloons left from the Physics Demonstrations and asked me to fill it for her. She had such fun discovering with it. She looked at reflections in it and lots of things through it.
Everything was fine until she got a little too close to the tree.
She had a bit of a Piglet moment. There was a large bang and she stood for a moment and then said, "and I lost my balloon, too." She looked all around the tree for it. And could not believe that the "damp rag" on the floor could be her balloon
.Oh, but it was fun while it lasted.
