Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

Thursday’s Doors ~ December 15, 2016, Side View
This lengthy side room,
with multiple paned windows
capture my rapt attention as I drove
past it to meet my youngest daughter
at the Whitney House for lunch.
Worthington, Ohio is where I
shared a precious, special

of the Worthington Inn
last Christmas holiday.

be whisked away to a
different time period
since last year I went
“All Out” in my door-
chasing escapades!
Happy viewing of other
