I used the loppers for the first time to cut up some branches that have laid since last year.
I got a fire going and burnt the bloody lot.
Greer and her boyfriend Dylan drove down from Grand Rapids to bring us a wedding anniversary/birthday present.
Each of us received sachets of loose tea and a novel infuser that hung on the side of the cup.
Mine was a narwhal, which I was ashamed to admit I had never heard of.

We were later joined by Kelli’s son Cameron, then we all trooped over to Van Wieren Hardware to pick out Christmas tree ornaments. This is a family tradition, every year there is a new piece added to the poor tree, there must be nearly a quarter of a ton hanging on the branches.
