Walking Iten's Acres: Winter Decorations December 26, 2015

Another nice "perk" of living in the country is that God does my winter decorations. Green pines stand out everywhere against either their blue or gray background. As soon as you enter The Acres, "Hester" looms before you covered with the deepest red cones. Red and green every Christmas! And other conifers are scattered everywhere--along the sides, around the pond, up by the cave, in the meadow and wild areas. Green everywhere no matter how cold it gets. And there are little green ornaments throughout The Acres too--Lenten Roses scattered here and there. And along with Hester's gorgeous red "ornaments," I have the "reds" streaking or congregating on the waters of the pond. sometimes under a film of ice. And the flying red beauties are ubiquitous--and on warmer winter days they even burst into song--:"pretty, pretty, pretty." Flying musical ornaments. Are you jealous? And the lights!!! True, on cloudy days they don't shine. But, oh, on clear days! The skies are stunning. Breath-taking. And, on occasion, He decorates everything with beautiful white crystal lace. Beauteous even as He "sprinkles" them on everything, everywhere. He does icicles, too. He is quite the decorator for my winter times. And, even cooler, He never takes them down.
