Swingin' selfie.

The little nasturtium sprout that could. This sprout started below the landscaping fabric lining our planter. Nasturtiums grow anywhere around here and will take over if you let them. And, as evidenced here, being buried more than 12-inches down isn't too big a barrier.

Oma with our tree. Richard found the branch floating in the river. It's decorated with dried grapefruit ornaments, and popcorn and dried cherry tomato garlands because we couldn't find cranberries or the like. The garlands are few and up higher because Oma likes popcorn and will eat them off the tree. #merrychristmas #newzealand #norwegianelkhound

First time on a #standuppaddleboard for Oma. We'll get her there! #whanganuiriver #newzealand #norwegianelkhound
