Marcia Hales (seen lighting a wish lantern in my photo from 2015) has invited the public to enjoy the display in her yard for years. She recently announced that 2016 will be the last year for her display. I wrote this poem very quickly after spending last evening in her lights.https://mariezwrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/christmas-2016-034.jpgchristmas-2016-0342017-11-24T16:22:27+00:00monthlyhttps://mariezwrites.com/2017/01/02/maries-meanderings-in-review-2016/2017-01-02T15:37:30+00:00monthlyhttps://mariezwrites.com/2017/01/01/gingerbread-house-catastrophe/https://mariezwrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/20161231_123313.jpg20161231_1233132017-01-13T00:58:55+00:00monthlyhttps://mariezwrites.com/2016/12/19/wisconsin-public-radio-interview-holiday-reads/https://mariezwrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/love-books-1.jpglove-books-12016-12-19T16:05:36+00:00monthlyhttps://mariezwrites.com/2016/12/08/how-i-got-into-a-fight-with-carol-bly/https://mariezwrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/carol-bly.jpgPS3552.L89.M9.2000, authorCarol Bly.
