Our granddaughter, Ara, graduated from the University of Florida this past Saturday with her Bachelor's Degree. Here's a picture of her and a friend in their caps and gowns. Ara is the one on the right. We're proud to be her grandparents!

The school colors are orange and Blue.

Here's some Blue Christmas decorations found in our neighborhood. Some people hang ornaments from trees in their swale areas.

Here are two examples of folks who decorated their yards with faux presents, wrapped in Blue.

You have to squint, but there's several touches of Blue in Santa's train.

The color of his gloves are beautiful Blue. (That's Johnny's shadow!)

Mr. Snowman uses a Blue shovel, although I suspect he won't find much use for it in Florida!

This snowman likes his Blue scarf.

Ah, this Blue sign suggests we keep Christ in Christmas, an idea with which I agree.

Here's a string of lights; it's easy to pick our the Blue ones.

Here's my favorite . . .

Do you have any Blue decorating your outside?
