Give me thy hand,
That I may dew it with my mournful tears;
Nor let the rain of heaven wet this place,
To wash away my woful monuments…

Hey #Bluesky peeps, what are your favorite #Christmas / #Holiday #crafts you’ve created.
Mine is definitely this shadow box Christmas tree I made with my grandson Damian (at age 4). I mounted the paper backing, and outlined the tree. He decided how to fill it in, and where everything else went.

I do not think a braver gentleman,
More active-valiant or more valiant-young,
More daring or more bold, is now alive
To grace this latter age with noble deeds…

To sing a song that old was sung,
From ashes ancient Gower is come;
Assuming man's infirmities,
To glad your ear, and please your eyes.
It hath been sung at festivals,
On ember-eves and holy-ales…
