Silent and Bright
As of yesterday morning, all of our kids left…everything that remained was still and quiet.
I watched a Jane Eyre movie and then picked up a copy of Jane Eyre {2nd Edition/1847} from my book shelf and started reading it….enjoying the stillness.
This morning with the temperature hovering at -4°, even the ice-cycles have ceased their steady drip.
The scenery here is stunning…perfectly stunning. It calms my heart and makes me want to not go anywhere {ever again!}. 
The chickens are staying warm with an extra heat lamp. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been so very thankful that we insulated their little house.
Although New Year’s Eve doesn’t often lend itself to quietness, I hope that this day which preludes a brand new year will fill your heart with Peace!

Thanks, Teresa – wishing you all the same {I like all those words}
Two of my children left for their home in NYC early this morning after a very fun two week visit. I am missing them like crazy. But I do cherish the peace, and the time to reflect in an empty house. I really enjoy seeing your home in all of its’ winter wonderland beauty! Many wishes for health and happiness.
Happy New Year! Your house looks so beautiful! Becky
Happy New Year. I think I would just look out the window if I were you. It is a beautiful view.
Yes…indeed that is tempting. Thank you so much for the beautiful Christmas card you sent my way. That line of cards is definitely a favorite of mine. New Year blessings to YOU, Pat! Elaine
I miss you!!! I’m about to start work right now. It’s quite bright here, but nothing is ever silent at Starbucks
(Also, it’s second Edition, not addition. Sorry, couldn’t help myself!)
