Fifth Day of Christmas

Saturday was a wild day: tornado warnings, 70 degrees, two inches of rain running off frozen ground into flooding creeks and rivers... the whole drama. Through it all, our trusty greens and bows clung to their posts and stood ready to welcome anyone who came by.

On Sunday we attended church in the morning and our neighbor's open house at night. Not much happening in these last few days of the year as we attempt to focus on sorting out the details of 2008 in preparation for 2009. We will keep the 12 days of Christmas and not take decorations down or put treasures away until Epiphany, January 6. Or thereabouts.

The post-Christmas cold is one tradition I had hoped to leave behind this year. No luck there.
