Judy Walker puts paid to the holidays

I hate it when everything has to come down, but it is better than Christmas light in Spring.

Oh I dunno David.....in some cultures, there`s simply NOTHING better than Christmas light in spring......by the way,has all that wilderness snow finally receded from around your house?

It has been around freezing for several days with drizzle. There is still lots of snow but my roof is cleared pretty much and I can now see the outline of my pool, not that I'll get to use it until late June. There will be a lot more snow here before Winter is over, unfortunately.

Thanks for the update....I had pictured you and yours,making your way through the foreboding,candle lit corridors of the attic,in order to release doves from south-facing clerestory windows ......nourishing the hope of having at least one bird return with a bright green leaf or a sprig of Kentucky bent-grass 😲 .....all the while,silently communicating in sign language so as not to alert the wolves at the top of each snowdrift across the compound

picture,if you will,many of these wolf-topped snowdrifts indirectly lit from below, by colorful strings of forgotten holiday lights!!

Somehow, your images seem profoundly romantic, a far cry from the reality of huge snow drifts in which you are stuck and waiting for someone to pull you bodily out once they actually see you in the snow filled gloom and hear you over the howling wind.

I think that we ate those doves on Christmas Day.

"......we ate those doves on Christmas Day".........

.......................A feast the likes of which we could only have imagined.....and one we agreed never again to speak of..........

quite likely a roving gang of second-story men ........ at once realizing the intrinsic value of drifts that could negate the use of ladders
