2015 drawing to a close

 A Winter Walk about . . . 






And I want to share two of David's recent creations;
the first, a Hawaiian Koa Wood Ring with an inlaid cross of Maple, and a figured Bethlehem Olive Wood Ring with a gentle taper.


It's wonderland time on the meadow again.



 And we are so very thankful.
For our solstice celebration, Vincent built a beautiful bonfire and the three of us and all our spirit friends enjoyed it's warmth and welcomed back the light.


Wishing all our family and friends (and friends not yet met) 
a peaceful and joyful transition into 2016.

The short dark days of mid December.

Winter has come to the meadow.  
We are almost at the shortest day of the year. I'm very thankful we work at home.  I was chatting with a woman at the post office in town yesterday and she was saying how she goes to work in the dark and arrives home when it's dark and only sees her yard on weekends. 
We are so fortunate to be working at home during these short December days.  If there is a sunny break today I will gather up my camera and my iPod, don my warm woollies and head out to take some photographs. Though it's already 1 pm so it's unlikely we'll see sunshine today.
In the meantime, here are some pics from the last 10 days around the meadow.












A couple of pics of David's green thumb at work.  Our first amaryllis bloom with more on the way.


See you again soon. The sun WILL shine.  The days WILL get longer.  
Till then, much love and many merries.
