the quieted world...a time to ponder in the silence. the closeness of winter...a sense of drawing in, of homing~~ lighting candles & fires...the softest of light. the very last day of november...i would know this by the thin sunlight & its slant
even if i had no calendar. today we are cleaning our home in a very thorough manner to make room for the empty manger...
advent wreath...
and more candles. tonight we will light the strings of lights that will lessen the deepening dark of tomorrow's december.
the last day of november also marks the end of NaBloPoMo & NaNoWriMo. i am giving a special shout-out to 2 she who blogs members who met the 50,000 word mark this month while working on their novels...sarah
and
lissa
congratulations, ladies!!!!!!
and with this post, i come to the end of my own 30 days~ a post a day for this whole month! what a wonderful, creative experience it has been...i have been grateful for every single moment~~ working on my own posts & reading posts of others.
tomorrow, for the beginning of advent, please be sure to visit britt-arnhild's celebration. for those of you celebrating advent...may it be a peaceful time of renewal.

You just reminded me how my grandmother would leave the manger empty until christmas. Thank you :)
My grandmother left the manger empty until Christmas morning too--then it was my job to put in the Baby Jesus.
