Prism

Finally a sunny day.  I'd bought crystals last year to hang in the windows and packed them away w/ Yggdrasil's ornaments.   When I decorated the tree, I'd hung these prisms in the SE windows hoping they would catch sunlight and spread out little spectrums of light throughout the house.  Unfortunately since the week before Christmas until today we'd only had one day w/ morning sunlight and that day I'd left the house before sunrise to pick up Friend Nancy for breakfast.   Today w/o cloud cover the temp had dipped to zero but my house was filled w/ small color continuums everywhere.  As the sun rose in the sky the light show moved through the rooms too.  Fortunately in the winter here the sun makes a low arc so it shines directly into those windows for a long time.  I'll remove the crystals before spring.  The sun will have moved far enough toward the east again so it won't invoke the prismatic dancing lights.  In the Northwoods it's almost a hobby to find fun things to do during winter.
