Here we are, the middle of January…
And I am still dealing with getting rid of Christmas decorations. I promise that this will be the last post. I hope. But this one almost didn’t happen. I almost chickened out and put it back in the box.
Even though I haven’t put it out in a boat load of years.
Even though there are issues.
You see, there is a story attached. Like THAT is a surprise.
Yes, that is a white picket fence. You might be asking yourself why it is in with the Christmas decorations. Well…..I used to have this miniature Christmas tree that I would set up on a table. And it had it’s own little decorations and it’s own little lights and it’s own little tree skirt. And I even made decorative “gifts” that went under it every year. And my Auntie Jane decided that what I needed to make the thing complete was a white picket fence to go around it. So she made me one.
And I have used it for many years. But it has had some hard use and been dropped here and there and…..
Well, it got dropped one too many times. I am sure that I could fix it if I really had to but I have decided instead to let it go. I no longer have the tree that it went around nor the ornaments for said tree. So it is time for the final goodbye.
But if I had to I could make one for myself.
But I am not going to. I will just remember this one with great fondness.
Of course it can be mended. Just use a tack up through the bottom of the fence into the post. Or, throw it away. :)
