"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred,
and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit,
become a child again at Christmas-time."
~~Laura Ingalls Wilder
The light from a Christmas tree is magical...

"It  is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers,
but for powers equal to our  tasks,
to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts
as we travel toward our distant goal."
  ~~Helen  Keller

Glitter and Glue

Counting down.
Two more days.

There are ornaments to be made and Christmas crafts to complete. They have to be just perfect because everyone knows that they will hang on your mom's tree as long as she has a Christmas tree. They will be cherished and carefully wrapped in tissue paper each year to await the next.

The best part of glitter?
At the end of the day,
I am covered with it,
and I can imagine that I am going to prom.

Counting down.
Two more days...

Almost Home

I drove home through the country.
The roads were clear,
and I needed something interesting in my view of the road ahead.
I had no idea where I was, but as long as I was heading west
and kept track of when I would turn north and south,
I have always been able to find my way home.
The most important thing is that I get there before dark.

I'm happy to add that I made it!

Frosted Berries

"WITH potent north winds rushing swiftly down,
Blended in glorious chant, on yester-night
Old Winter came with locks and beard of white.
The hoarfrost glittering on his ancient crown:

He sent his icy breathings through the pane,
He raved and rattled it the close-shut doors,
Then waned with hollow murmur down the moors,
To rise, revive and sweep the world again."
~~Paul Hamilton Hayne
The "foggy-frost" was beautiful!
Images just outside the school was
all we had time for before the sun went down...

Country Ice

Earlier in the day, the sun shone bright.
Standing at the kitchen window, 

I could feel its warmth.
Outside, the snow was freezing and now it crunches with every step.
At no other time does the air feel as clean.

It just reminded me of Linus and his blanket covering the little tree that Charlie Brown had picked out.

On Time...

They said this "winter event" would start about 3:00 p.m.
This time they got it right,
and as I walked out of building,
it began to fall as pelting sleet.
Fifteen minutes into my commute home,
it turned to "real, live snow".
The view from my front porch changed in a hurry as Zacc's Japanese Maple was quickly covered with snow.

The weather forecasters' prediction was on time,
but it seems like Mother Nature is a little early with her winter weather...

    Still learning...

    This is a place for daily images that represent memories.

    I will try to "focus" on the best each day.
