Merry and Bright

Vivian and I played with Playmobil -- her favorite thing (other than the horses) is the quiver for the arrows on the archery range accessories; mine is the great heron that waits in the Reed's by the pond -- and she built her first charm bracelet, which she's in love with. It's a mother-daughter tradition and she was delighted.

After all the Playmobil shenanigans, I dropped by Nancy's to deliver turmeric and ginger seedlings. It was healing just being in her presence, talking about plants and farms and the crazy-good nature of the Universe that keeps sending us love and support.

It's bitter cold out, and even though the sun was shining and my heart was warm, the chill seeped in to my bones.  I've set up a cinnamon tea-cake to bake and am heading to a bath to steep.

May your days be merry and bright.
