Luminaries

I love luminaries.  When it is cold and dark they add a lovely touch of warmth and light to the house.  These are on the north deck.  Happily it is not so windy that they are blown out tonight.  

First two luminaries of this winter season.

I first started making them when we stayed with my parents in Minneapolis in the winter.  They bring back good memories.

Christmas lights at the old house.  My parents lived there for 54 years.
