The Christmas tree is sparkling
The red berry wreath is in place
The shadows cast long over the farmhouse… like long protective arms, they hug our home for Christmas …
The morning mists envelop the garden and muffle any sounds
The Persimmons are ripe and ready for picking
And the ruby red amaryllis are in place for Christmas Day
The decorations are on the tree… every last one, every much loved bauble… new and old
The hyacinths are potted and the hellebores are blooming
Presents are wrapped and the candles are ready to be lit
Garlands are hung… and the tulips are opening
Joyeuses Fêtes…
