The trees are covered with hoarfrost. There has been little, if any, wind this morning so the upper branches and twigs remain magically white. Inside the house, none of the amaryllis have bloomed. That remains something we still look forward to.

During the past few days, we've realized that somehow this year we've missed honoring one of our Christmas traditions. Please follow the link [below] to last year's December posting of What's the weight of nothing? Upon reading it again today, we believe it holds true in most essentials and is a fitting way to close out the contentious year we're now ending. It also offers valid aspirations for 2021.
May the new year bring us health, happiness, and honesty in abundance, and, as Mr. Spock would say, may we "Live long and prosper."
Long, too long America,
Traveling roads all even and peaceful you learn'd from joys and prosperity only,
But now, ah now, to learn from crises of anguish, advancing, grappling with direst fate and recoiling not,
And now to conceive and show to the world what your children en-masse really are,
(For who except myself has yet conceiv'd what your children en-masse really are?)

Thanks for visiting. Come again when you can.
Please be kind to each other while you can.
