Christmas Trees in Puerto Rico-Squawk!
A fellow traveler and I were fascinated with the way the many of the christmas trees were decora
ted in Puerto Rico. Many were covered in parrots, so we took a drive to The Lazy Parrot in the hills of Rincon thinking they MUST have some. It was a
lovely drive but alas no Christmas tree parrots. The gracious owned did tell us where to find them though, at the Christmas Store (Almacen Navideño) in the next town, Mayagüez. I bought about 10 or 11
parrots and 5 small birds and somehow managed to squeeze them all into the suitcase, eek. Where there is a will there is a way lol!
A fellow Brit in Yellow Springs, Karen, made me this super oven glove. Okay it is just an oven glove but there is something special about getting a present that someone took the time to design and make. She got a hand made dickie bird and one of those parrots all the way from Puerto Rico which now sits in her tree pictured below.
Happy Christmas
or as some say in the UK

Yellow, that is an odd thing to think, where did your mother in law get that idea? Is it from this old superstition:"
If a bird flies through your house, it indicates important news. If it can't get out, the news will be death."
If it is perhaps you can assure her yours are fake birds and don't count.
I think yes one of the parrots will be in the studio :) year round.
A late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year way in advance to you!
Hope you're having a fantastic time.

Hoping you and your family have much health, wealth and happiness in 2010!
