2021

As this year winds to a close, the Winter sunset as seen from our home to across the street - gives me the feeling many of us have - we are tired - ready for a new year - which hopefully brings more joy and happiness. May y'all have a blessed New Year - one of Joy and Health. Peggy C PiP

Changing colors of green leaves become the 'Flowers of Fall' .. don't recall who said that .. but I love how it describes .. a new Season of colors .. this is just the start .. of the Splendor of Nature .. “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” — Albert Camus 5 PiP - EXPLORE / GALLERY -

- used to do a Tree for each season - stopped when the older tree dropped too many needles - and I got tired of trying to get the decorations - from behind the doors on the right side of the Hutch - searched for a smaller tree - one easier to assemble - it has taken a few years - now, instead of 7 1/2 ft tall - this is 6 1/2 ft tall - not as wide so the Hutch doors will open - and decorations can be put on the backside of the tree - so, 2021 Fall - then will go to 2021 Holiday - and any others that might occur in-between seasons 2 PiP
