It's the last night of an eventful 2020, and I for one won't be sorry to see it go. Although the pandemic will remain in full swing for the next few months - at least as far as we're concerned because we still don't dare go much of anywhere - we hope availability of the vaccine will help bring our isolation (since mid-March) to an end. Tomorrow marks the beginning - and the end of our pretty little pencil tree that was seen this year only by us and Chris and Jerry, who stopped in, safely distanced, to open gifts.
