Before the storm...

The north, resting and waiting in the dark under their cloudy cover...

Dark and brooding...

The east, the snow displaying it's layers on the mountains...

The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: Christmas-- "Christmas is coming; the goose is getting fat..." Nope, I'm not going there, not by a long shot! How about: Even though we just finished up the Thanksgiving meal, what dish are you looking forward to most at Christmas time? ...and yes, Christmas cookies count! Home made almond roca... Yeah... Shelley's mom used to make it and freeze coffee cans of it; I'd chow down when I visited. Now my only source is my sister in law's mother; she makes some every year to give out at Christmas dinner.

Twosome: Elf-- Who is your favorite Christmas Elf? Mom? Dad? Will Farrell? That guy who helps you at the tree place each year? Shelley. No discussion. She does way more than I can even fathom during this season...

Threesome: Gifs-- How about your favorite bit of Christmas artwork? Is it a painting? ...a cartoon? ...your special ornament? ...the tree in the town square? I think I'm going to have to say the various creches I see as we visit people at Christmas. Oh, and the painting Donna uses for her Christmas theme, Merson's "Rest on the Flight into Egypyt"; I've grown into that piece a bit more each year...

How about you? Let us know, over on The Back Porch...

Come on over and chat!

Something in lavender for today?

...or perhaps a touch of green?

Mouseover for another view...
