Roses and Winter Snow

I have a few odds and ends of pictures, pictures I like but which have nothing in common with each other. The first two are the floral arrangement I received from my neighbours last year

I have chosen the words from a rarely heard Christmas song to go with today's picture.

Snowy flakes are falling softly

 Clothing all the world in white.

High above the stars are shining,

Twinkling through the winter night.

Was it just like this we wonder,

Starry bright and crisp and cold,

On that Christmas night of old?

(Picture taken on my yard)

                                               Angels spread their wondrous story:

Jesus Christ is born today.

  

 "Peace on earth",they sang,"and glory 

Be to God on High alway"

So we sing the sweetest carols
Telling how the King of love
Came to save from heaven above.
