Middle of the Week

 Santa takes a break sliding down the hill on a sled. I bet when he gets to the down the hill he can deliver the wrapped present.

 I learned from a PBS show that they Santas over there in England use to wear green. This is a replica of a European ornament with its blue Santa holding gifts.

 A gift from my wife is this reflective metal wind spinner. The tree of life is in the middle and as it spins it reflects all the different levels of rings that reflect in the sunlight.

 The coating on the spinner is designed to reflect so many colors. It puts reflections into the one of our windows into or living room when the sun is in the right direction. 

 It is windy today and it makes it feel very cold. Our neighbors have workmen across the street installing new siding, and the workers are dressed very warmly. It seems dangerous to be on a ladder with this wind. 

I took down one of the trees today and it looks sad and empty where it was standing. I think it was one of the most difficult tree to take down but the big tree is the hardest.  As the days pass they will all be down for another year. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
