Wow, I suddenly realized how long it has been since my last post.

Over the last months, our lives have been a whirlwind of activity. First, we had to deal with a Vermont winter. Then we traveled as a family to a vacation in the Dominican Republic, then got COVID, and were all consumed with making needed adaptations to our home with my husband’s changing needs.

It has been a time of reflection. Of laughter and trying to stay hopeful. Of fun and fear. Of grieving for what we have lost, and what we will lose. It has been a time of snuggles with Scout, and knitting.

Finally, it is time for the vegetable garden. I can not tell you how much good it does my spirit to see the garden coming to life. The first meals of produce from our garden have been a gift both in terms of taste and the sense of hope they have provided.
