January

Frost feathers

January is that quiet time to prepare for the coming year.  Ours has been snowy and quiet and enjoyable and a time to prepare for sure.  I've enjoyed the daily walks with Millie which take me out to see the beauty of the winter.  No bugs!!  The snow has only been deep enough for snowshoes for a short time--and that youngest boy did make some nice snowmobile tracks in the yard to ease the daily walk for us as well as to ease the pasture wandering on the old horse.  

2020 finds us nearly empty nesting.  The children are all out of school now and gainfully employed.  We are finding ourselves enjoying some time figuring out who we are now that the kids are grown and we are talking a lot about the future. a lot about how we will spend our time and the things that are important to us.  Preparing.
