A beautiful day in the neighborhood #2: Holiday Creosote

Picture of a creosote bush in a Tucson front yard. The hand-lettered sign in front reads: Decorate Me! Neighborhood Holiday Creosote. Be Creative! Include name, address, message. No Gathering - Social Distance.
Seen in a front yard around the corner from me in Tucson: a holiday creosote bush.

Continuing my attempt to notice the beautiful and/or quirky in my everyday surroundings. Tucson is a quirky and beautiful city, so I should have no shortage of material.

I love this little neighborhood experiment–communal decorating of a creosote bush. It says so much about the kind of attitude that helps us get through tough times and lead a happy life: making due with what you have (because Christmas trees don’t really grow in the desert) and inviting others to share what they have to create something beautiful and joyful.
