Christmas Red

For some reason I think of Darby as not being as nimble as Pumpkin, but I think the opposite is actually true.  I've never seen Pumpkin jump up on this bench, and while Darby doesn't do it often, when she does it, she does it easily and gracefully.

Pine cone from our local mountains and dried pomegranate from my backyard.

Polish pottery and a mini-pomegranate swag.

Red collar and red tongue.

One of my favorite Santas.
