One, two, tree — decisions, decisions, decisions

The tree is up, but I can’t tell if it’s OK where it is. In recent years, we’ve placed it by the back window of our living room, which allowed it to be a focal point for people coming into the house.

This year, however, we have the dog’s pen in that spot so we’ve moved the tree to the front of the house, in front of the big window in the dining room. It’s there for now, but could be taken down. I’ve purposely not tightened the stand up in case Annie finds it completely wrong when she gets home.

In the meantime, there are papers to be graded, poems to revised, dogs to be walked and some other chores to take care of.
