After Thanksgiving we felt putting the Christmas decorations would brighten our moods and lighten our hearts about this unusual and stressful year because of all the problems brought on by COVID 19, and the most grueling Presidential election in America's history.
Below are some pics of our decorations as well as a couple videos.

We are all prepared and waiting for the big day.
This stated, we wish you all a very

Update: Upon further research I discovered the true species of Fred. It is not an oak tree as first thought; it is an Indian Laurel, Ficus microcarpa.
I got curious about Fred's species after noticing that its leaves are very similar to those on my Ficus Benjamina but more compact. So sorry about the plant mid-identificaion.

Hello Darlings,
We hope you managing well during COVID 19 crisis. Below is a little note from my 'How My Garden Grows, or Not, Sic : The Life and Cultivation of My Little Garden journal. It is the file where I get real about my gardens indoor and outdoor. It is full of my successes and failures over the years as well as all that I have learned so far about plants and gardening in general. It will never be completed because there is always more to learn.

Journal entry:
11/19/2020 – Okay. Back in August I noticed that there was a young tree growing on the awing roof in the back yard. I knew that it couldn’t stay there as it wouldn’t get enough nutrient from where is had rooted itself, and if it did manger to grow it would likely bring down the awing from its weight. Therefore, today a couple of nice guys removed it for me and I planted it in a spare pot that was sitting around.
The photos below are the before and after photos of Fred’s journey from roof top to pot.

As you know I am a great fan of Roku television and devices. My family and I purchased them long before they became a household name here in the USA. We started with a simple streaming stick for our old Panasonic 720p TV, and today everything we watch is stream through our Roku television set.
What we loved about the Roku products is that it opened our world to global entertainment. We stopped being limited to what regular broadcast TV and cable TV had to offer. If we thought Netflix was a new and welcome relief from our regular viewing fair, than the hundreds and hundreds of free and paid channels offered by Roku, may it the platform streaming king for streaming viewing.
To date we enjoy and highly recommend such streaming channels as:
· Disney+
· Netflix
· HiDive
· Hulu
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. This list is much longer and is growing and changing all the time with what the viewers are willing to watch whether it is free or paid channels.
Within the past four years along, Roku devices and televisions sales have increased so much and became so popular among teens and adults looking to watch anime and other foreign television series and films that other television manufactures invested in the Roku platform and put it in their own products. Some television manufactures even offered the Roku sticks as a bonus for buying their televisions that did not have such a large streaming ability.
Alas, and as you have probably guessed, this long dialog brings me around to what I wanted to share, and that is Walmart is having a blow out sale on televisions and many of these televisions are Roku or have the Roku platform installed.
The sale of these televisions runs from $89.99 up to $398.99 and from 24-inch to 55-inch 4k. To grab your own television click the link below while they last!
