Chinese Lantern

It was a busy day today. Ellie got me up early so we had a little time to play before getting ready for school. I came home to spend time alone with my husband and then back to pick up Ellie after school. We went to lunch before I took her home, then I went to my ladies' book group. The view was beautiful up at my friend's house but I forgot to take a photo so I took this shot of a Chinese Lantern seed pod when I got home..
