Catching the Light

And maybe a few evil spirits too.  Witch balls are believed to have originated as one of many folk practices involving objects designed to protect the home. Originally, they were made of clear glass and hung in cottage windows in England in the 1600 and 1700s to ward off evil spirits and spells.  With the Evil One in the White House now, I feel like I need dozens of these at each window.  They come in so many beautiful colors and patterns, they are lovely even if they can't catch anything but the light.  The light will be fading later this morning as yet another storm begins.  I hope it is cleared early tomorrow as I have a special friend coming to make Valentines in the afternoon!
