Deer Me


 So, Christmas is put away for another year. 

My vintage collections never fail to make me smile, including this varied assortment of deer. I love them! See you next year!

And Again


 
Another glorious end to the day. 

(Still saddened, appalled, and angry--but that gavel at 3:45 a.m. last night did improve my mood.)

A Bad Day


 And so the sun sets (a beautiful one, BTW) on one of the worst days in modern U.S. history. I am appalled, saddened, and ANGRY.

This Just In...

 

We have a new fountain, at last! Now just waiting for the birds to get the news...

Hello, 2021

 


On New Year's Eve
I am at home to the Future...
I wait to hear her ring the doorbell of the world.
I open the door.
The gorgeous guest from afar sweeps in.
In her hands are her gifts--
The gift of hours and far-seeing monuments, 
The gift of mornings and evenings,
The gift of spring and summer,
The gift of autumn and winter.
She must have searched the heavens
For boons so rare.

...
