Sunday was spent getting winter ready, Christmas ready then pondering at the stars and moon in the evening. It was very nice. Amber and Camaron came over and set up the tree. It took a little work trying to find it all after being tucked away all summer. We checked the well house to make sure all the right things were plugged in so it wouldn't freeze in next weeks early ice age to come. The lid is secure enough and ready.
Old Christmas lights were taken down and new ones put up. I went with a red, white and blue theme with two kids in the military now. I need to find some toy sailors to go with the toy army guys I already had. Looks like this will be a serious sibling rivalry, army v. navy. Maybe there'll be a way to work in Ambers OSU ornaments with this. Orange clashes a little with red,white and blue though. Something will be figured out.
Then the full moon is out. What a beautiful night for looking at the stars, the moon and being wish ready for shooting stars. The nights are getting crisper, Christmas isn't far away, really. Cassie will be home on the 20th. Randall will most likely stay in California so we'll miss him but he'll still be with family.
Reflecting lights... these two pictures tie in together that way. Reflections, projections...It's all about light.
Great photos, I like the contrast of the Christmas tree, all jolly and bright with the eerie and haunting one of the moon photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat that Cassie will be home to celebrate Christmas with the family...I'm off to my sisters on Christmas Day along with a few other family members..
.haven't yet put up my tree, I usually hold off till the 12 days beforehand, though many folks here get 'all lit up' way before that too....can't believe it's such a short time away, this year has just sped by!
Thanks Fi, the moon's been so pretty it couldn't be left out. I no doubt wouldn't have had my tree up this early had it not been for Amber. It's too easy to trudge along with the day-to-day things and forget the fun stuff. Glad you get to go to your sisters at Christmas. Being with family is so nice to look forward to. Have a great day!
