Preparations

My bulbs are growing like mad



(they even have little buds)



so, in celebration I decorated my new tree for Christmas,



strung lights across my window



and then I looked outside.



There's snow! It's beginning to really feel like the winter, and I love this weather (the cold is so brief here). The dark kind of depresses me, but I like celebrating the change of the seasons. I like knowing the dark, so that I will be surprised by the light, eventually.

So, happy Advent, friends.



(No matter what you believe in, it is good to celebrate the return of the Light.)
