Mystery Object

Today we drove past an apartment that I have posted before because they usually have all kinds of decorations out front. But today all they had was this, plus some old Christmas things.

But look at this tower thing. What IS it? I have no answer for you next time, because I don't know myself. I have never seen anything like it. Do you have a clue?

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”

The Winter House

 We passed by this house that was decorated with so many perfect winter things. Sleds and skates, even their mailbox.

“It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it.”

~John Burroughs

Alpacas

 You may remember my little shelf of Alpacas for Christmas.

I took it down in January and made this for the winter.

The Spinners

 No, I am not talking about the singing group from the fifties. I am posting about the wind spinners. So many are out now! I had thought they were mostly used in the spring and summer. But they now seem to be used all year round!

Even non-spinning spinners!

He parted the heavens and came down;
    dark clouds were under his feet. 

He mounted the cherubim and flew;
    he soared^[a] on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his canopy around him—
    the dark^[b] rain clouds of the sky.

The Path

 In my previous posts, the large herons were two hundred dollars each. The ducks were just under sixty five dollars each.

 I came upon these mushrooms growing like a winding path.
