I did not get the things finished that I had hopped.  Never mind I know it will all still be there next week, at least all the pots are washed and put away!  We have friends who call this the Christmas cottage and to that end I have posted a picture on the opening page of the dining room all set for the holidays and quite living up to that name.  To anyone reading this blog may the under gardener and I wish you a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful gardening new year.
