Winter Art Forms

We ended last week with a celebration of love: of people, food and farm. So beautifully demonstrated by Donna’s shortbread (delicious) works of art.

January in November?

Triage seems overly dramatic. Squirreling away too proactive and everyday. How to describe the stimulating challenge of bringing everyone and everything in out of winter’s way?
