Decembers are filled with memories.

 
 

The last of this year’s calendar is a bit nostalgic for me, aside from all the other memories of the Road Trip Calendar. This was a memory from a road trip, of sorts, but a trip to the childhood home in Illinois in a December in the last few weeks of my sister’s life. She wanted a Christmas gathering of the family in early December; and so we gathered. Even as sick as she was by then, the decorator in her couldn’t rest, including this bird bath, its evergreens and berries covered in snow and the ceramic rabbit. Always a rabbit. She loved rabbits in art, had a bunch of ceramic ones in beautifully-arranged corners of the house; and I have to confess a have a few myself. (It’s catching.). The gathering of family was bittersweet; Lin (Linda, but she hated that) died on that Christmas Day.
