Calm, Bright

It has been a big year for this milkmaid. It is time to spend some time near a tiny rosemary tree with a stack of satsumas and another of books. There are naps to take. There are littles to kiss. There is laughter, and there are warm toes and thick socks. There is crisp air and a little bit of snow underfoot. It is all of it wonderful, more than enough.

I will be back, rested and restored, around the new year. Thank you, dear reader, for being a part of this splendid community, and for offering such a bounty of good. I wish you cheer.

Happy holidays.
Be calm. Be bright.
