Sublime.

And with that the first December snowflakes softly start to fall - in the universe of the movie WaterFire is a Christmas event - gently she brushes snow off the shoulder of his threadbare camelhair coat.

I finished reading the Waterfire Saga today and I'm already missing Sera and the gang... and I need to see Lucia brought to justice. #booksky #deepblue #waterfiresaga

That makes sense.

Too bad the city can't offer you space at the Waterfire building they bought(/are buying) for $3.7 million.

I've been to both locations about the same number of times over the past few years... & would prefer your business here over theirs.

You're buying in, they're sucking out.

Celebrated the generations of Rhode Island veterans who served our nation with our uniquely RI tradition, WaterFire.

When we come together, we can bring light into the darkness and uplift our shared appreciation of patriotism, service, and sacrifice for the country we love.

Last night’s Waterfire lighting in PVD last night was sublime. A beautiful night surrounded by people just celebrating life. After the lighting everyone decamped to the vendor space set up near RISD. The sense of community brought all the feels 😊

The music playing is ‘Yizkor for Rabin’ by Davka.
