Sunset

My other baby brother called me late in the day December 19th…it had been sprinkling some RAIN drops and there was an awesome rainbow.  Well the sun was setting fast…by the time I made it out of the trees and down the road the rainbow was gone.  However I did enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Sunset  Dec 19

As you can see we have very little snow…but that will probably change in the next few days.

We have been getting many Christmas cards in the mail everyday…such fun to read!   Some surprise packages have been delivered.

Gift from Lisa and doug

A battery operated candle in a beautiful holder.  The glow is from the candle.  It was such a thoughtful gift!  It made me cry. Thank you Doug and Lisa!  Lisa is a long time blog reader from Washington State…she and Far Guy share the dreaded Trigeminal Neuralgia. 

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year…from now on we gain daylight!  Sun rises at 8:03 AM and sets at 4:34 PM with a total of 8 hours and 31 minutes of daylight…less on dreary cloudy days.

  14. Lisa's gift to you is very touching. That sunset is glorious, and the sunset two days later brought an end to the diminishing of the light and the hope of brighter days to come.

  21. Often, rainbows are fleeting things of beauty. Sometimes we can miss just enjoying that beauty in the mad rush of trying to capture it with the camera. Been there, done that.
    Such a sweet gift. It would have had me weeping.
