Mother Nature’s Christmas decorations
Yesterday afternoon, as the sun hit the Christmas decorations adorning the yard and home of the neighbor across the street, the sparkle and shimmer reminded me of the morning frost at sunrise. I delighted in the idea that Christmas decorations are a way of imitating Mother Nature’s glitz and glam. You might think I was the first person to think of this idea. You’d be wrong, of course, but you might think it based on how delighted I was with the thought. Read the rest of this entry »

Father Christmas
I wasn’t going to (live) post today. I had something scheduled to go out without me, but the house is quiet and feeling a little… I was going to write “empty” but that’s not true. M and I and the cats are here. The house isn’t empty at all. It’s just not as full as it was with our sons, daughters-in-law, granddaughters, and their assortment of dogs filling up the place. The echoes are still here, not yet faded into memory.
