I listened to a podcast about the outrage that pings back and forth between political parties right now and it made me tired.
It also made me think of how little outrage accomplishes. It’s so hard to know the best way to make the world a better place!
So, we continue in our little corner trying to spread love. I wrote postcards for a month and have moved to Christmas cards now. And today, we pulled down the Biden signposts down from our little corner of property in Greene county (randal and I bought 8 acres this year). (The Biden sign itself came down after the election.)
In its place, we planted a Christmas tree - white pine transplanted from mom and dad’s crop. The kids and I picked up litter along the road and then we decorated our new tree.
I don’t think that the neighbors have forgotten that we’re Biden supporters; there weren’t a lot of friendly looks (zero to be precise). But, the tree looks beautiful and festive and after we put up lights, hopefully they’ll be happy it’s there.
In the meantime, I love it and it makes me happy. And I appreciate my parents and husband who spend half a day making this little vision come true.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
