The evening bell, solemn and bronze, sounds dimly in the melted
snow... slow beat of the mountain's heart perhaps. Bell, mountain,
tree... symbol of quiet strength. All seeking in this place.
All finding in this place... hidden but open to all...
peace.
Here are some images of my Christmas decor in my home this year. I love naturals -- and have been collecting Santas for years.
xmas naturals added to my rock collections
basket of naturals with wrapped boxes
more wrapped boxes with fossils and naturals
Father Christmas, hand made by me
Another Father Christmas, hand made by me
My 9 foot tree decorated with Santas, bird nests, birds, natural balls, wrapped boxes
A new addition-- birched wrapped candle- hand made by me
Another birch wrapped candle
More birch wrapped candles
Leslie Avon Miller came for a visit and brought me this wonderful box of hand made gifts and naturals
Thank you Leslie... a very good friend.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
My wish for you in the new year... happiness, peace,
light
