Tree Hearts
Heart Tree at Vienna's
City Hall Christmas Market

Heart Tree
Artist Gerry Gam's big red hearts,
ready to warm our souls in the midst of winter,
illuminated by the last golden rays
of the setting midwinter sun

  7. Love the hearts! We have lots of stuffed fabric ones I made for the lower part of the tree, back when the boys were young. Still usefuls due to our dogs and cats though occasionally a critter will decide the stuffed hearts look like toys and remove them for chewing.

      Our first Christmas trees were decorated with homemade gingerbread boys and girls. When G learned to move around, she actually pulled down a branch and began eating the gingerbread! From then on, no more edible decorations on the lower branches. ;-)

    1. Interesting! I was thinking the exact same thing, when I saw the tree for the first time. I remember those stark persimmon tree branches against an azzurro sky with the orange persimmons still attached, in late November, in Rome. Abbraccione, e salutami la citta',
