I love how intensely rural this scene is. Grandpa Geiger's machine shed has been wired for a five foot lighted star that matches the sliding door stars that Aunt Jannette helped paint in the late 1940's. The big old pine tree has the Huron County lean that's the result of winds sweeping across the Thumb from the west off of Saginaw Bay.
The soft pink of the setting sun, a star made of bright lights, grass in December, a shed and a gray barn on the home place -- Graywood Farm is waiting for snow and Christmas.
