gardens in winter

haunted houses

haunted plantation

haunted bedroom

haunted estate

haunted shanty

haunted colonial

deep doldrums

escaping to nature

sultry cabin fever

mustang grapes

dusty, fibrous thread of my childhood

new start out at night

oh my

nesting

real estate daydreams all day

merry christmas

a Texas cedar christmas,
allergies and all.
cold-smelling resin-sap fragrance stirs the soul.

magical Xmas

victorian christmas

christmas krampus

Krampus is an European Xmas tradition - he's the counter part to Santa Claus - he punishes you if you've been naughty whereas Santa rewards you with gifts if you've been nice.
I have become infatuated with the Xmas Krampus.
