December 2017
Ferguson's annual Christmas Home Tour is a fundraiser for the Caring League.
I've never been much excited about home tours.

But my mother likes them, and I martyred myself for her by buying tickets to the Ferguson event.
But what was this?! At the very first house, I saw what I may have been missing all of my adult years: Vodka, wine, schnapps, and many sweets. And a repeat at the second house.
If this is the norm, no wonder such tours are so popular!
Disclosure: My mom is 88 years old, and schlepping into two houses maxed her limit, so we spent the next hour just driving around Ferguson neighborhoods and admiring the town's charming architecture and the yellow, green, and gold beauty of its mature trees.
In one of the neighborhoods, we stopped the car to watch a dancing blanket of sparrows swirling up and over and around a house and tree.
