Black Christmas

tree.
I was at this store yesterday taking my mom because she had to return the chairs that she had bought earlier on the day which were apparently too short so she wanted much taller ones. I wasn't expecting much from the trip as I knew which store we were heading off to (I had been there before once some years ago), and it wasn't a mall or a supermarket where I could have got some things for myself. But(!), once we got there I was wrong about the store. They might have changed or I lost my memory about it. Either way, they were not only selling chairs. In fact, the chairs were only like a tiny bit of what they actually have for sale in the store. Mostly they sell hundreds of different types of plates, glasses, vases, jars, and other stuff including Christmas trees. So, the area where the chairs were placed was literally a very small area in the corner next to the registers.

Obviously, I didn't just stand there bored. While my mom was picking up some plates and bowls, I went around and noticed these shelves full of different types and sizes of jars. OK, so my plan last week was to make a terrarium so I was sent to this store!

So, I found a perfect jar which didn't cost expensive for my terrarium which I'm going to prepare today. It's gonna be fun! I'm also going to involve the kids so they will know how to make one.

So, we were ready to pay at the register and while my mom was doing that I noticed these three tall shelves full of figures. They were basically ornaments that you would place on your book shelf or on the fireplace. I don't know what they're exactly called but you'll see what I mean through the photos below.









I don't think I will get any of the figures as much as I found them interesting. I just think they're too old-fashioned for me, and having them in my room would be pretty creepy.

BTW, it has been raining like every afternoon for the past two weeks or so. I noticed this little frog yesterday that seemed to want to escape the rain. I don't get it, though. I thought frogs loved rain and to get wet? It was clear that this frog was trying to find a higher surface... even though it wasn't flooding at all. Being preventive? Maybe.

This photo is pretty funny. So, the frog was trying to jump forward to hit a solid wall it wasn't aware of and flipped over as I pressed the shutter button. I clearly didn't know until I went through the photos on my computer. I was like "WHAT THE HELL is that? Oh, it's the frog!"
That's pretty much what I wanted to share with y'all today.

Have a nice day!
I'm gonna finish work quickly and will start preparing my terrarium before it gets dark or rains or I won't be able to get the moss and small plants out there around in the neighborhood.

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving!
