(glimpses) - quiet hours

we have felt a bit the like bears during these past short days of frigid hibernation, except for the addition of …

evergreen boughs that welcome us at our door ….



































and toasty fires we sit nearby to talk and play games … resting and catching up with too many days of lost sleep…

settling in with unpacked fancy china found unwanted several summer ago…while tasting well-spiced cookies that only seem to exist for this short time…

 

and all the pretty little lights that have been brightening the long dark nights …

































and slowly again back into a very cold but sunlit world of routines, work projects and school work….all the best wishes to you for the new year!!
