First Sunday of Advent

It's the First Sunday of Advent, the start of the liturgical year for Catholics.  In today's world Advent seems to be completely crowded out by Christmas, which appears to start on Thanksgiving night in my neighborhood!

So this year my dear husband created an Advent wreath for our yard, and this morning I put out the first  candle.  PVC pipe, spray paint, rip-stop nylon, a coat hanger, and some stakes.

I wonder if anyone figured out what they were seeing this morning?  


Happy Advent!  May this be a special time of preparing for the Incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for you and your loved ones.
