Last Day of Chanukah

Saturday night was the seventh night of the holiday. 
Sunday evening we will light eight candles (plus the one used to light the others).

Sunday morning on the shortest day of the year. The sun struggles to rise over our neighbor’s house.
The lights of Chanukah are sympathetic magic: one more each evening to coax the sun to stay longer.

Alice’s plants are enjoying a brief moment of sunshine in our living room while she is traveling.

Chanukah Murals

Happy Chanukah! Wonderful murals.
I like to see ALL lives matter.
Light over darkness, more love and less hate.
Take care, enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy week!

Happy Chanukah and a nice Winter solstice too. Great murals honouring the Jewish people that have been killed. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.
