My eyelids fluttered, I felt oh so dreamy and relaxed. I kept them closed as I lengthened my body, enjoying the feeling of my toes skimming the clean, crisp sheets. I could hear the birds tweeting and chirping outside my window, almost as if they were introducing the day with their chatter. I felt so […]
A Gesture made of Gold
It is delicious, it is infrequent and oh so brief. A gesture from nature, a glimpse at the future. Oh yes it is on its way. The days lengthen, the mornings seem brighter, bolder.

An out of the Ordinary Fabulous Week in pictures
Every Winter ,since both children became steady on their own 2 feet, we have had bold plans to take them to the snow. Nothing fancy, no skiing, a simple day of sightseeing and maybe some tobogganing. It is not the travel that holds me back, we are only a two and a half hour drive […]
