Opening your Doors Again

Last week I opened the doors to my house. It was a glorious early spring day, the hillsides were bursting with daffodils and a robin was singing, singing from a nearby tree.  I’d opened the doors in winter, of course, but always in a hurried manner, holding them for a second while I hauled wood in from…

Gentle Spring // Cleansing

This year’s spring has been a revelation, sweet and slow. The mountains here held winter much longer than usual—we’ve even seen April snows. Crocuses were the first to awaken, scattered across a wild lawn by the lake. It was such a welcome sight, I stopped my car in the middle of the road….
