Nothing actually stands between saying, “The river sang,” and “It was as if the river sang,” other than a set of rigid rules that forbids the former from being more than a metaphor. -Fr. Stephen Freeman

Christmas Seventh Day
Here are the pansies, those cold-defying, hope-inspiring cheerer-uppers. This photo was taken after two overnight freezes, in which they shriveled up and looked quite pitiful--and then came to life again with a warmer day. Our weather has been extremely variable lately. One morning when I checked, it was 31 degrees, with an expected high of 59, which it did reach by afternoon.
Maybe the weather has affected us.
We leave tomorrow for a rather impromptu trip to the Dallas area, to visit friends, and possibly on to Abilene.
In a way it feels like a bigger trip than flying to Europe does! We've been to Europe several times since the last time we went to Texas, so Texas seems farther away.
If we can finally be making this long-promised trip to Texas, then anything is possible.
Happy New Year!

Safe trip, Sheila. Much love and a happy New Year to you and Drazen (and the doggies too, of course!)
The colors represented in this photograph are beautiful.
Enjoy your time in Dallas safely.
If you need a place to stay in Abilene, my guest room is ready.
