Prepping For the Season
Prepping for the Season

A Nativity Scene waits to be placed,
it's from here the season is based.
I'll buy fresh straw for the manger,
to which the Christ Child is no stranger.
The Wise Men will stay put away
until they arrive on Epiphany Day.

Grandma's Elves appointed in tacky green glitter
will adorn the shelf next to Rudolff. A ladder
is needed to accomplish this, mine's
in the barn. I have yet to take down the vines
of autumn leaves currently on display.

Outside, I cut brush for garland spray
and to make wreaths for family and friends.
I'm not much for modern day trends,
a tree with homemade ornaments, red
candles, poinsettias and Santa by the shed.
Old country traditions with redwood boughs,
still warm my heart in the here and now.
