Christmas Figures Around Mom's Neighborhood

I went out for a while tonight and took pictures of Christmas yard figures. These were all within a short walking distance of Mom's house in Kellogg.



Here's a jolly snowman:


The snowman might be so happy because he shares a yard with Snoopy:At the nursing home, this globe sits under the gazebo to brighten up residents' spirits:


This angel sits outside the front door of the nursing home, offering hope and brightness:


Homer Simpson plays Santa two houses down from Mom:

Also two doors down is this snow globe:

Three Beautiful Things 12/22/06: Mud, Lights, Trees

1. Having my windshield repeatedly sprayed with light mud, necessitating repeatedly flipping on my wipers and windshield cleaner. I knew I was back in the Inland Northwest.

2. Christmas lights are everywhere in Kellogg. Santa is coming to town.

3. I'm staying at my sister Carol's house. Her family has a family tree, decorated, and my three nieces each have a tree. I feel like I've come out of the darkness into the light.
