Let's Start at the Very Beginning

I understand it's a very nice place to start.This blog (what a horrible word) is for you, Kathryn and Grayson.Whether you are in a dark forest, or in your own cozy cottage, may this be a trail of pebbles that leads the way to our hearth...and our hearth will ever be your hearth! No flashes of insight. No rich servings of wisdom. Only glimpses of what we are doing, thinking, feeling. Follow the pebbles, peak in the windows, come in and warm yourselves if you'd like. You helped build this home. It belongs to you. I hope that you visit often and that your visits leave you feeling hugged.

I Love Snow!

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? ~J.B. Priestley
What do I love about snow right this very minute? Sitting at the computer with my toes and cheeks and ears still thawing from our walk to Heine Brothers, a pile of wet shoes and boots blocking the front door. Listening to the floor creak above me, reminds me you are all home...even if one is packing, one is napping, and one is "re-bundling" to go practice bagpipes. I'm liking the noise for now.
