Outside a bitter cold wind chills
our bones.
A white brilliant blanket of snow
and ice lies beneath the clear blue sky.
Footprints in the cold snow lead
across the yard. A chill passes thought my body so close to Christmas.
The merriment cools my thoughts.
I feel as my time has passed and I await the final day.
Winter begins.
Inside the green tree is illuminated
in a rainbow of seasonal colors against the dark green background of fir.
Laurel circles the tree again and
again.
She stands back and looks and then
circles the tree again.
Lucas Murphy (Wally) wrote and
sent some wonderful pictures and a Seasonal Greeting.
Stevie Nicks is singing in the
background.
There are four cats lying under
this colorful Christmas tree
which is a pleasant and rewarding
sight that is totally unexpected.
Good feelings are here.
