| 12/18/21 A Maple Leaf livingroom |
Last Christmas was the first time in our marriage that we didn’t put up a tree. I wasn’t sad about it – it was the right time to
simplify – but we both missed the pine scent. Rather late in the season, we
decided to get a small tree this year. Decorated with a strand of blue lights
and a few favorite ornaments, it illuminates the livingroom during the long
nights with a soft, cool light.
Since the tree now blocks my street view, I won’t be making any more nocturne sketches from that window until we take the tree down. I’m OK with that, though. The scent of pine is worth it.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Not a creature was stirring.... Love the atmosphere you created.
