Winter Sparkles...

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star how I wonder what you are..." It just seems appropriate that when you live in a household filled with children that you think in nursery rhymes. Especially when you see pretty twinkling lights. There is no snow here at the moment as much as we would all like there to be (the farmers in the villages around us need the moisture everything is so very dry) though the temperature mid day is not rising much above 10*C (right now it is a chilly -6*) so we all thought of ice sculptures when we saw the sparkles from this lighted castle in the city square. It also made us wonder just how cold we are going to be next weekend when several of us make the journey to Harbin to visit the Ice and Lights Festival!
