Vacation, week 2
Two weeks. In the grand scheme of things, closing shop for two weeks doesn’t sound like much, but it has been enough. Enough time to listen to leaves crunching underfoot on long walks, to the song of streams swollen by recent welcome rain, to the call of owls in the night. Enough time to explore our woods again, enough time to inhale the smells of pine and cut wood and smoke from neighborhood chimneys. Enough time to watch rain fall, and stars fall, and buzzards float across rising air. Enough time to enjoy rum and hot cider and warm, fresh-baked Christmas cookies. Enough time to sit around an outside fire with best friends. Soul satisfying time. ~K
