An unexpected gift! A bluebird showed up outside the sunroom window on this gray, drizzly morning. We seldom see one. It didn't stay long; but we got a good glimpse of its glorious color before it took off, leaving us wide-eyed in utter amazement. Like a brilliant blue sky in June, that bluebird's blue dazzled; and the gift of it did not escape us. 'Tis the season for gifts, after all. With coffee cups refilled and slippered feet propped up, we lingered and laughed and longed for the spirit of Christmas to never end.
