Snow is softly falling as the eastern sky brightens. About an inch so far, upholsters the bare surfaces in my back yard. This is the reason I fell in love with this house.

I’m so darn happy and thankful lately. It’s weird. Maybe it’s the ‘bioidentical hormones,’ maybe my horoscope is right – I’m just going to have to get used to this silly grin – I’m going to have a good year.
