There are hundreds of mesquite trees

here on the grounds of "Pleasant Prairie".  I know, because I have walked the woods with Sophie, looking over every one of them.......

However, in the back yard, ...............in front of my greenhouse, is a younger mesquite tree that has a wonderful clump of mistletoe growing on it. It is the only one out of all of the trees here on the grounds that has mistletoe. I know it is actually a fungus...........but I love it!

This is how it looked last week when we got the "big snow". This tree also supports one end of my clothesline...............which I love!

DID YOU KNOW?
Kissing under the mistletoe, our favorite sprig of green leaves and white berries, dates back to a 17th century English custom.
At that time, a berry was removed every time a kiss was made, which meant there were no kisses when there were no berries.

How about you??

 Do you have mistletoe hanging in your trees?..................or more important...........

do you have mistletoe hanging where you can get a kiss or two??
I hope so!
