Thanksgiving



We had a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner with our beloved family in NJ. Delicious food, fond memories and much laughter shared. This was a very VERY special time and we felt so blessed to all be together.  We made it home in time to see Santa light up our town tree!

That Walk to School

That walk to school
when his friend asked
"What's your favorite smell?
and he replied,
"The smell of my mom's cooking
and Spring"...






















and then
I walked home
smiling.

Seasonal Sprint

“Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery, teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun.”  ~Lakota Prayer


The Juncos have arrived and that means winter is not far behind them. The feathered ones are nature's weather app. There is a feeding frenzy in the feeder as they plump up for the coming season. I think of them as I peck at the keyboard, designing our family calendars for 2016. My goal is always to have our cards and calendars to the printer before Thanksgiving, so this mama bear can saunter through the holiday season without being swept up in the bustle. Even so, 2015 seems to be in a sprint toward the finish.

Last night, the cracking of tree limbs and wind gusts woke me from sleep. I sat up in bed and watched the naked trees dance in the moonlight.



Our gratitude cards to slip into the palms of all those who help make our life a life...
