Simple pleasures today.
Play dough that feels really good in the hands,  walks in the sunshine on cold days, adventures and exploring, collecting twigs and branches covered in lichen to make wreaths (!), the view out the cabin window, sitting in the sun chatting with D while J digs in the dirt and plays with his trucks, puzzles at the table, hearty bean soup on the stove with crusty sourdough bread, my baby sleeping with his head on my chest, hot tea, the promise of thousands of stars tonight, interesting blogs to read, a wonderful new magazine discovered, warm, soft socks, J discovering the joy of a camera, The Rose Bowl, finishing my 2012 holiday ornaments in 2012, board games with J, watching Pippin joyfully run over the hills, bubble baths, cheese plates, this picture:

and this one:

 

 

All in all, a great way to start 2013!
