Good Morning Winter

Good Morning,

We got a little snow for Christmas and the family came for Christmas Dinner.

Merry Christmas from the Hart Family

We have so much to be Grateful for.

Here we are right where we should be.

2014 was such a good year that I'm a little sorry to see it go. But, of course

 you can not stop time and now I am looking forward to 2015.

What are my plans for 2015?

For one thing...doing more artwork.

I have 3 projects I'm working on, I hope to be able to talk about them soon.

My 5K's will still be going. In fact, my very first one will be in St George for my birthday in Jan.

For Christmas I got the most wonderful walking sticks

 along with  a book about all the hiking trails in Elko County.

Soooo you know hiking reports will soon appear.

My New Years list goes something like this.

less TV and more reading

less clutter more space

less junk food and more real foods

less worries and more smiles

and more deep breathing.

of course theirs more ......

I would like to see world peace and harmony

This is my world peace mug,

The Poinsettia Tree

Merry Christmas

 

My first tree is up.

I am calling it the Poinsettia Tree.

The meaning of the Poinsettia Flower is all about Christmas.

THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF poinsettia

Also known as the Christmas Star and Christmas Flower, it’s said that this winter flower’s association with Christmas comes from a Mexican legend. The story goes that a child, with no means for a grander gift, gathered humble weeds from the side of the road to place at the church alter on Christmas Eve. As the congregation witnessed a Christmas miracle, the weeds turned into brilliant red and green flowers. Named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, first United States ambassador to Mexico and the amateur botanist who introduced the plant to the U.S. in 1825, the poinsettia is also known as Mexican Flame Leaf, Winter Rose, Noche Buena and, in Turkey, Atakurk’s Flower, because it was the favorite flower of Atakurk, the founder of modern Turkey. While considered by the ancient Aztecs to be symbols of purity, in today's language of flowers, red, white or pink poinsettias, the December birth flower, symbolize good cheer and success and are said to bring wishes of mirth and celebration.

I also  bought new ornaments just for this tree.
