FEBRUARY provided moments to appreciate the coziness of a warm house on a cold day...
MARCH saw some much needed rain and a profusion of flowers...
APRIL was full of visits with family and friends in both Yosemite and Indiana...
MAY allowed time to reflect on the past and ponder my path into the future...
JUNE foreshadowed the forest fires and home repair projects that would persist throughout our summer and fall...
JULY offered an escape from the intense California heat to the cool shores of Lake Superior and a chance to hang out with my sister and nephew in Minnesota...
AUGUST afforded us a break from home renovating to explore the Monterey coast and Sierra Nevada high country...
SEPTEMBER was full of fun times with good friends in the Tetons and Oakland...
OCTOBER was a challenging time of transition and loss for loved ones back home in Indiana...
NOVEMBER made me grateful for unexpected moments of beauty and relaxing family vacations...
And DECEMBER has been filled with winter wonders...
Happy holidays to all and best wishes for the coming new year!
