Hello friends. I meant to pop in today with some baking, sewing and paper craft ideas for Valentine’s Day. We did make heart shaped sugar cookie sandwiches with buttercream frosting in between, but I forgot to take pictures of them. They are now in the mail, winging their way to OH, NY and MI. Beyond that, the last few days got away from me, and I don’t have the post ready for you that I meant to. Here is a quick hello in its place.

our front porch this afternoon, where no one really wants to sit right now. :-)
Thursday we woke to bright sunshine and a clear blue sky, what we in Vermont call a “bluebird sky”. The temperature rose just above freezing for a few hours and so I took off on a walk with a friend. We masked and walked a road’s distance apart (because there’s hardly any traffic) and were joyous to spend time together. And after that treat, it has been snowing on and off since. February. xo

I was wandering around YouTube for a bit this afternoon and found a gorgeous piece by Jonna Jinton, artist, photographer and YouTuber living in the woods in the north of Sweden. It’s about fourteen minutes long and is enhanced by a cup of steaming tea. I invite you to make time to watch it. You will be distracted in a most lovely way. Called “Living with the Dark Winters in Sweden/Midnight sun and Polar night”, you can find it here.
Sending you some of the soft quiet that settles around our eaves in the late afternoon.
