The other day was nice and I spent some time taking lights down off the deck, the lights I had struggled so much with before the holidays. Rain was coming followed by ice and I didn’t want them ruined. As I took each strand off I felt a tug in my heart as the lights […]
The gentle spring has hidden herself away, reminding us that winter is still here and just how harsh she can be. This morning it was almost 40 below and I feel for all the creatures of the earth who make their homes out in nature. Thankfully I am in my warm house looking outside at […]
