Yes "Dear Marigold", dust issssssssss a protective coating on furniture! Guess it works differently, inside our computer *guts* though. Who knew, hu?!?!?!? -grin-
~-~-~-~-~
Ignore those numbers and that hand, and this is how my original iMac "Flower Pot" looks. But with a bigggggggger monitor screen. The *guts* of the computer, is in the "pot". The monitor is the "flower-on-top." And the adjustable arm between the "flower" and the "pot," is the *flower stem.* :-) Ever see one of these???!!!??? I fell in love with the first commercial for it, wayyyy back. And finally got the last model they put out. :-) Still LOVE it.
~-~-~-~-~
But the compressed-air-thing... We would blow that can into some computer vents, and suck the crap-o-la out other computer vents, with a little vacuum. When not opening the "guts," that is. I suppose if you open your "tower" or whatever you call your *guts*, you can just do the compressed air thing. :-) And blow dust bunnies away, into the room.

Nope, not Santa's Sleigh. Just a shot of some early morning frost, on the outdoor *cooker* which had not been covered... Early frost pics, which I went out and tried to get. Guess I was too cold, because I didn't get many good pics. ,-)
These 3 ding-dang pics would not post, in their cropped state. Grrrr... But I have no time to fiddle with them, now.

I've been wrapping, but today, I must do cleaning. It is bothering me and today is the day!!! :-)

Look at that delightful painting above, of an Old Fashioned Christmas scene....... Those 10 children around the table, CAN'T be all her's, can they? (Nooooo, some are her children, and some are their visiting cousins.<--"Auntie" sezzzzzz!" :-))
.
With all the work that Mother must have had to do, to care for her family...... Was the Tree, the only Christmas Holiday Decorating, she had time to do? Did she have "help," with taking care of the house hold? Fun questions to ponder, while looking at a lovely picture like this. :-)

I dearly hope Dear Reader, that you are not getting a bit frazzled by now, with *All There Is To Be Done". Please don't. *All* doesn't really HAVE TO BE done, you know. Only in your mind. ~-~-~-~-~ Slow down. Enjoy the Season yourself. Think how much more sweet, peaceful, kind, jolly you will be, if you do. And after-all, isn't a Calm and Happy Mama, one of the nicest things to remember, about Christmas???????? :-)

Yes, you are right. A calm, sweet, good-smelling, smiling mama is far better than the other variety. =)
Did you know that some creatures become ill after eating frost-touched foods? I didn't until reading it last night. Maybe you can wipe out a colony of squirrels. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing around here. I know. Murder and mayhem from Vee first thing this morning. What's the world coming to?
Have a fun puttery sort of day!
Those dust darn bunnies are nasty little varmints that worm their way into places they shouldn't be. Your pics look great to me just the way they are, Antie Sezz.
I'm enjoying the Christmas season with gusto!
warm hugs, Pam
Nope, can't say I've ever seen a computer like that but then I've never had a Mac:-)
Great shots showing the frost. We had fog this morning, can you believe it? We have absolutely no snow, in fact it poured rain yesterday and this morning heavy fog...doesn't look like Christmas at all out there. On the news they are saying that we may have a green Christmas, something that hardly ever happens in my little corner of the world. Usually we have a foot of snow by now!
Love that old fashioned Christmas scene picture and it reminds me what it must have looked like for my mom's mother...she had 15 children!! I'm sure she wished at times that some of them were cousins just visiting!! LOL
I'm feeling very calm because I'm completely ready for Christmas. All has been made and done so now I can just relax and enjoy the season:-) xoxo
My, oh my! Frozen pumpkin! That could be like ice cream, huh? Unless, of course, it causes problems like Vee suggests. Perhaps I will stick to my Peanuts. Fifteen children is way too much competition for the Peanuts if you ask me. :) By the way, both the Goatmother and I subscribe to that 'dust' theory. I understand that it wouldn't work well for a computer, but it fits nicely in a barn.
Will be going offline. Just taking a moment to wish you and yours a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to coming back next week.

YAY.....it all looks fabulous.
3 cheers for a CANDY CANE CHRISTMAS....
xoxoxo bj

I have so enjoyed the pumpkin pics as it has changed over the last weeks. How CLEVER you are! And - for the record - I really like your pics....cropped or not!
Lovely pictures yet again! You bird bath is gorgeous and love the picture of the frosty pumpkin.
Lynn :D
Enjoy Christmas - I only have one really chaotic day and then I pretty much chill out for the rest of the time.
BRRRRRR....looks cold. But your Mrs. Santa is adorable!
My mother came from a famiy of 13 children. No Grandma didn't have any help except the older girls. They were raised during the depression so I would bet there wasn't decorating or gifts in their household. So I am thankful for a dishwasher and a washing machine, and a vacuum. Blessings on you.

Hello Sweet Friend
I had the same problem with adding you to my list in Google Reader. I finally had to copy your url and paste it in under "add a subscription". Not sure why mine isn't in yours - no one else has ever mentioned it.
Yes I think that the Mums in the world are the reason Christmas "all comes together." At least out of all the people I know it's the Mums who get it done.
Love the new header photo. Watching White Christmas tonight:)

I had a computer exactly like that one and loved it!! I am a mac fan and have always been. : )
Good advice to slow down and take it easy. I think most people put way to much pressure on themselves.
Not me, I like things simple anyway so don't get caught up in all the "Stuff" to do.
for NOW you are showing in my reader.. who knows for how long, i sure don't. i like the red cooker, thought it was the trunk to an old 32 deuce coup.
