Gourd Ornament  As the last day of the year starts to fade, I am reminded of sand in a hourglass that seeps slowly to the bottom to rest until it starts a new journey falling in a different pattern than before.  As this year transitions to a new twelve month cycle, it is fitting to advise those submitters whose work will have a home in aaduna.  Starting later this afternoon, I will continue that process throughout this first new year weekend. I am sure each of us has an annual tradition that puts away the old and marks the start of yet another new year.  Enjoy whatever that activity is for you, and have a festive start to 2011, and a joyous New Year.
