SEASONAL INSPIRATION FOR A NEW DECADE

The arrival of the New Year, as it should, brought unexpected surprises.

First, helping to put the “sea” in seasonal, creativity coupled with love of what they do, fishermen took these humble crab cages and crafted their evocative holiday tree.

Second, after virtually giving up on the annual disappointment of trying to get our “Christmas” cactus to bloom, we transplanted it to the seashore. Given a different environment, apparently a new lease on life, it greeted our recent arrival with a display unlike any we’ve seen from it.

Don’t give up on things too early, as hope springs eternal. With Three Kings Day upon us, these two items provided a real-life Epiphany of hope for the coming year and beyond.
