Overheard in the Temple

"Sister--we need to find you a husband."

To which I was good and reverent and simply smiled, and kept my mouth closed. The smarty me had a couple of things I would have enjoyed saying. But I didn't. I was very good. Time and place, my friends. Time and place.

Oh, yes. Did I mention this was said to me as I was kneeling down at the altar?

Ah! And here is another reason why I think trees are so lovely in the winter.

It could just be me, but I still prefer trees in winter to be without leaves. I find the snow outlines to be so much prettier then.
