..and the winter has begun.
When bills are stack as high as
the nearest toboggon run.

The seed catalogues are dog eared
from mulling on the pages.
Which seeds to plant, the newest craze
or old faithfuls from the ages.

The shepherds lie about the floor,
no worries do the carry
All safe and warm beside the hearth
they gladly yearn to tary.

I look on line to check the site.
Of germanshepherdhome
And find the evergreens are dressed
in gowns as white as bones.

Thank you Val you made my day
with your artistic gester.
I wait to see what will come next
(I really hate to pester)

You make the winter days go by
I never know what I'll find.
I can hardly wait to see whats next
could it be VALentines? wink

So, first noticed the great snowy trees (not that I want mine that way!)

Then, I am greeted with the poem.

Thank you, Val. Thank you, Sandra. You make me smile!

Sandra you are the talented one with words.

Yep Valentines day then St.Patrick's day. Plus in Feb. we will have our birthday party again. So hopefully those things will make winter go by faster.

Oooh, I think we should start a crusade to list all the holidays! I'm sure we could get some challenging ones up there. I like the dog chewing on the heart - I think it's a great touch!

middleofnowhere, interesting idea. Not sure I have that much time. I try to make each banner a bit different from the year before.

That is a picture of my Lakota when he was a young guy.

Oh come on Val! wink (I WAS kidding...) I think it's great that you do anything at all with the banner much less all that you do.

middle, I knew you were kidding. I could imagine some of the holidays you guys could find.....

I like the Banner, but I still think it is nice once in a while to dress it up, makes it more homey than <cough> some other places.
