Guys and Dani,
Houses dressed with wreaths and lights. Fraser firs or balsams standing in their place of honor. Presents wrapped and ready as signs of love and friendship. Stoves laden with cooking pots. Ovens wafting smells of pies and cookies. Children bursting with anticipation.
It is a glorious time of the year.
Last Saturday I encountered other colors. While scouting new spots for our sport, I encountered the gaudy drake wood duck and the impeccable dress of the full plumage drake mallard. Because of the loud CRUNCH of dry sycamore leaves, it was impossible to steal close. There they flew away. The December sun, low in the sky, highlighted the nearby hills. The air was clean and crisp. Beautiful!
Colors inside our homes and colors outside where we follow our sport. With friends and family to share it all. What a privilege to be alive!
Our holiday on this forum is tinged with remembrance of those friends and loved ones we lost this year. Nevertheless, we celebrate and for those who will have it, remember the One who brought us both color and Christmas.
Blessed Christmas to all!
Larry
