A couple of years ago, I purchased a silly DVD that plays Christmas songs and videos of beautiful winter vistas, snow falling in country settings, birds sitting on snow-covered branches, horses romping in snow-covered meadows, and the like. The other day, Rose and I were working together on our respective projects–she, crocheting on her blanket, I, Knitting something–and I put the DVD on.
After a few minutes, Rose started laughing.
“What’s funny?”
She first pointed at the TV screen, then pointed at (out) the window.
“It’s the same!”
It was snowing, the birds were gathering at the feeder on the deck, etc. We both laughed for a few minutes.
Later in the video, there are scenes of an open flame in a fireplace. Just as this came on, John was opening the doors to the woodstove to add more wood. We both burst out laughing again!!
We are fun!!
The solstice is here again, dad has been dead a year, and we’re snowed in. As usual, though, we have everything we need and are blessed abundantly! Happy season!
