All too brief is the season that creates a cascade of perfect icicles from snow softened rooftops. Oh, like crystal swords they are gathered together. Then, as the sun slips quickly behind the trees, all the light from the windows will take over, turning every blade of ice into a prism as brilliant as any chandelier inside. However, just as nature created this momentary wonder, a change in weather will leave behind the fairytale memory… of the day when home became “The Ice Castle”. May this season be a time of warm childhood memories bringing to all a feeling of contentment and hope for the new year.
