I wasn’t set on getting a Christmas Tree this year, but the veggie stand near our house was having their annual sale. $25 seemed like a fine price for me so we carried one the 3 blocks home.
Then we scurried off for my first-ever Hot Pot in the International District at Seven Stars Pepper. Perfect for cold weather.
It’s the eve of the Solstice — check out that dusky darkness at 3 o’clock.
