afterwards...

The family departed yesterday, flying to Illinois and home (for them). We were fortunate to have them here for ten days - fun, food, merriment with friends along for the ride. Lindsay is now almost two - and is an articulate little one - all she wanted to do on Christmas morning was to go outside and tromp in the rain puddles. She could have cared less about presents, stockings or anything else. It certainly makes you think about what's really important...

The birds are out in full force this morning, the first day in almost two weeks of constant rain. I wish the kids were here to see it. We are so lucky to be able to live in such a beautiful spot. After thirty years of looking out the kitchen window, I never tire of the scenery.

Happy New Year everyone!
