Lonely Persimon of 2016, and Christmas lights...
One of Kat's most prized possessions is her persimmon tree.
This tree was a slight stick when we planted it. I didn't expect it would amount to much. It's grown so much, I wish we'd planted it a bit further out. I suggested trimming it so it would grow tall. Kat prefers it stays low to the ground, for ease of harvesting fruit.
We had a generous amount of rain this year, but the tree produced only a single fruit. Similarly, our usual bountiful Fall tomato crop was also scant. It was suggested it might be due to the scarcity of pollinators.

We also caught the Christmas light show at Mozart's Coffee
We also celebrated a birthday.
She enjoyed her traditional wing meal at Plucker's for lunch, and opted for sushi at Chinatown for dinner.
Jorge and Gregg did not disappoint.
