On Fire.......


Our burning bush is getting to be more red each day. If cold air helps it to turn we should get a lot red sooner.  Euonymus alatus is the name of the shrub and its higher classification is spindle tree.  Christians tended to relate it to the bush that was burning , as described in Exodus in the old Testament. The shrub has a red berry on it which the birds do love to eat when it gets ripe. The bush is considered poison but my information source doesn't share whether that it is the leaf or the berry.

The Morning After....

  It is the day after the shortest day and this was what greeted me this morning. The sun is still tucked behind the neighbor's house.
