So, the other day I was helping someone and I had to leave to get something. When I came back, that person asked me where the black lady went.
I asked him, "What black lady?"
He responded, "Holly."
"Sir, that is me."
"Well you changed colors then!"
Oh man, that was hilarious.

Christmas in July?
Not really, but it feels like it when you live in the desert. So, it is not hot and humid like it is in July in Iowa. But it is still in the 60's and 70's most days. This week it has been cooler though, like 50's. And it does it pretty cold in the morning. Like 30's. I didn't know that happened in Phoenix, but it does.
We have decorated for Christmas. Here are some of the pictures. One night I made this thing to hang up above our counter top. What can I say. Sometimes I don't sleep at night.
We bought these vases at Ikea. Actually, we bought most of these things at Ikea. Our plan is to change out the decorations with the seasons. Oh, and in the picture above you can see the medium sized ones on the shelves next to the tea pot.
Here they are in the dark.
We have these lights hanging on our balcony. I like them a lot. We never turn them off. I thought they might deter the pigeons, but I was completely wrong on that.
We have some more decorations, but the pictures didn't turn out that great in the dark. So we will have to take some more during the day. Stay tuned for more.
It doesn't really feel like Christmas. There is no snow. I can't complain. I love the weather, but it is really hard to get into Christmas when the weather is this nice.
