The Daily Hobbit

Tonite for New Years Eve we get a special treat. A blue moon. It’s a full moon that appears twice in one month. Cool.

Cats and Dogs Grooming Parlor. The sign says so right there.

In Virginia you can find a monument to Dead Confederates. Yes, very cheery for the end of 2009.

Somerville even has its own Tattoo Parlor.

…someone is getting their roof fixed. (Not us)

Look at this! We were shopping in Somerville and visited the Big Little Train store, a miniature railroad hobby store. This little dog followed TV Boy all through the isles because he was carrying a bag of gourmet doggie treats. She was such a sweet dog. The owner let us give her a treat.

You better not pout. Santa Claus has just made his rounds!

It’s Christmas Eve! YAY! Yukon and Hermie are getting ready to help fill Santa’s sleigh.

Actually, they’re on my mantle. What is the song? A scooter for Jimmy, a dolly for Sue. The kind that says…"How do you do?". When Christmas time is heeeeeeeeeeerrrrrreeee…

Red is definately a festive color. And makes winter a little more cheerier.

Welcome to the first day of Winter. And I don’t think too many of us are surprised. Today is the shortest day of the year. Do not fret! From today on, the days will get longer.

A little bit of Christmas Cheer on the neighbor’s fence.

Adam’s Pizza and Italian Restaurant in Manville is open for business on this snowy evening.

Quite a display. I dare you to show me better!

Ok, the houses are getting somewhat bigger and the light displays are getting bigger.

This snowman waves seasons greetings to all who pass by.

Everybody loves Christmas Lights. The town is full of decorated houses.

This ranch home has those icicle lights strung all around it.

A tour of some of the christmas lights around town this week.

Colorful boas at Party City.

Looking up at the United Reform Church in Somerville, NJ.

These beautiful orchids is a birthday present from Sonya. Everyone should have a live orchid plant for the office.

Vintage ornaments for sale in an antique shop. They’d really look nice on a tree. Maybe there will be some after Christmas sales.

Decorating with birds is fun. I got blue lights on the tree this year. This little bird looks happy in her spot on the tree.

A little cardinal hangs out on my Christmas Wreath.

This ridiculous mess was brought to you by our police department. They blocked off our road to traffic but allowed left hand turning out of the road into already gridlocked traffic. Really stupid planning. I have a movie of it and intend to bring it up with the Mayor of Piscataway on Monday morning.

The ceramic christmas tree glows in the evening.

How richly God has decked thee! Thou bidst us true and faithful be, And trust in God unchangingly.

The Piscataway Township Christmas Tree.

Vibrant bit of nature in the backyard.

Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling.
