home again from new year's with family. even with all the vehicles we shared the roads with in both directions, we did not, unfortunately, see the few remaining state license plates that are left unchecked on our list. we shall prevail at some point.
holiday decorations were being undone all along with way. the few i have will be on display until epiphany, the 12th day of christmas. the amaryllis grew almost an inch in the time i was away. the wreath was moved to an outside door before leaving last thursday to keep it from drying out too quickly. it's nice to see it on the front door now where it can remain for longer than it could have had it stayed inside.
with the dropping temperature, the ducks are contending with a lake that is freezing in places. right now they have gotten themselves caught in the middle of the lake. they will figure it out. silly ducks.
it's about five pm right now and the sky is still light, faint but light. the sunset is lovely. longer days since the shortest day of the year, december 21st, is evident. each day, as we travel through winter, is a sign that spring is coming.
happy new year. may 2012 to kind to all.
