The Martha Stars



I took this photo of the large stars on the south peak of Grandpa Geiger's machine shed at Graywood Farm yesterday. Electricians installed a circuit, outlets, and a timer for two three-fooot and one five-foot star shaped frames when the shed was renovated several years ago.

I got the idea from (yes, Lindsie) a holiday issue of Martha Stewart Living. We made the small stars using tie wraps and dowels and light strings. The large star was prepackaged and came from Pigeon Hardware.

Ed lights the stars at night from late November through the dark of winter. Visible across the snowy landscape for several miles, the stars welcome us home with their guiding light.

    Thanks, Cathy. That'll be late November, with snow, we hope. I know you Texans like to see those northern snow pictures! WJ
