Yesterday we had the most lovely snow day. The woods were simply begging us to come and explore. We had new trails to find and secret passageways and hideouts. Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. George Washington Carver There were tracks to follow. And tracks to make. Occasionally, the wind blew mini blizzards of snow around us. And then the sun returned and the sky gleamed blue. The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson There were hints of Spring. And reminders of winter. We made wonderful memories. And then, there were the snowy camellias. I got a little swept away by their color and beauty. I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. e.e. cummings
What a fun, colorful tree. We decided to do the same thing this year. Merry Christmas to you! Visiting from Nesting Place.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm a little late, but I loved reading about your tree tradition. The kids tree is a beautiful, colorful, precious idea. We only have one tree and it's pretty much a kid tree. :) I don't know that I placed one ornament on ours this year. The kids did all the work! :) I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and a good start to 2012!
