the beginnings of my christmas decor. i love this season...the joy and hope that fills the air is incredible. the wonderful treats of spending time with family...seeing the excitement on people's faces when you give them a gift that speaks of thoughtfulness and love...strangers giving to strangers without resentment, without reserve...ah. glad it's here!

fire (& ice)

some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice.
from what I've tasted of desire
i hold with those who favor fire.
{robert frost}

tree.

if you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.

you need to have a home to go back to, whether it's a hotel room or a barn.  it's only home when he's there.
