I have missed a few days… a migraine derailed me Wednesday… so since Lent is an opportunity for reflection and contemplation, today I begin again.

The nutcracker king is going to endure a few more days of winter on the front step. While the inside Christmas decorations came down on Epiphany, the outside ones are still out.

Last winter, midst storm on storm, it felt like a real test of endurance. This year, today’s snow is a comforting blanket of stillness. A day to cook pot roast or other winter comfort food and bake bread. To read and contemplate. To nap and rest. That’s my plan for the day, what’s yours?
