Christmas is so many things to me, and one of the most special aspects of Christmas is the music. Everyone knows Schubert's "Ave Maria," but the version by the German composer Franz Biebl, though lesser known, is even more sublime. This angelic song may sound ancient, but in fact it was written in 1964. The Biebl version was first brought to wide public attention by Chanticleer, but I think this rendition by the St. Olaf Choirs is even better. Listen to it now, and return to it often. Merry Christmas!

It is beautiful! Thank you
Hope you had a great time with family.
Our best Christmas gift was rain!
We're seeing hummingbird migrants still pulled in by the pineapple sage. I had to put the feeder back up. Have you been seeing any?
