2021 Home Photo Challenge 1-16-21

The Home Photo Challenge was fun for me last year. Since I do not think much is going to be changing for me in the way of travel this year, I am going to continue the challenge for myself into 2021. This year I am going to add a little twist. I will give a brief description of each photo I take and write a Haiku to go along with it.

We awoke to the fall of heavy snish . That’s snow mixed with rain mixed with slush.

It is snishing out.

Rain, snow, slush from the night sky

Falling into life.

I am jumping in on this week’s FUN FOTO CHALLENGE.

One of this year’s blogging goals for me is to really focus on building community, and as Cee said, “This challenge both new and archived photos are allowed.  The main purpose of this challenge is to create community and get to know each other through photography.”

Cee and I live at opposite ends of the country, but like her I live in a pretty small community. This is Central Street in my home town.

That green and white building in the background used to be my family’s restaurant. We sold it after my father died back in 1991. It has been empty for going on a decade now.

This is the house where I grew up and now live. We call it The Vicarage.

That is the steeple of my grandparents’ church…the first church where I youth pastored back in 1992-1995.

The morning sun filtering through winter dust on my kitchen window

The sun shines through dust,

Reminds me dirt is redeemed

When light filters through.

Balls of white cotton

Floating over my head bring joy.

Make hearts find their rest.

The midwinter sun shining into The Vicarage back yard.

In the azure sky

The mid-winter sun calls out,

“Gaze on my beauty!”

We keep our Christmas trees up well into January to bolster our moods as the long winter settles in.

Some call it lazy.

I call it festivity.

Keeping the tree up.
