The weather outside is delightful, and if your opinion is less flattering you're probably thinking about this year's trip to Florida. So be it. This photograph was taken three hours ago, and snow has been falling since. Even in tiny flakes, white, icy walls whirled as I drove to church on the appropriately rural Mastick Road. Cleveland classical music station WCLV was playing a choir's performance of Gloria in Excelsis Deo. It was...glorious.
LATER:
Here's the King, nearly complete; bows, icicles and family ornaments will finish the trimming. The sheer convenience of my Olympus made documentation of our decades-old trimming tradition possible. I'll put it up between now and Christmas. In the meantime, watch for some new sights on the masthead.
