Blessings


I was out in town on my e-bike on this frigid cold day when I ran across these decorations on a store window. The Chinese character says "fu," and can be translated to mean luck or blessing. Local people use this decoration throughout the year, especially on their front doors at Chinese New Year* though, to indicate their hope for a lucky year ahead.

We've had snow already this year, with more predicted for tomorrow. Gotta wrap up, stay warm, and enjoy it the best I can!

*Chinese New Year is February 3rd this year.
