We go together like...

...a pair of mugs?  One for me, one for Trish, and two lovely additions for the kitchen countertop by a local artist.  Merry Christmas to us!  Anything ceramic that supports the consumption of coffee or tea will always be joyfully given and received in this household :)

Pony Farm

Sometimes Trish is asked to house-sit at at a farm right outside of Worcester, and we go spend nights there, basking in the glory of nature and a cozy, very much lived-in home.  The house is awesome!  There are fireplaces all over the place, and it's stuffed with books, photographs, rugs, and big beds covered in down blankets.  Not to mention there are dogs running around and horses waiting to greet you out back :)

Shorter Days

The days are starting to get noticeably shorter - the evening lights slants into our kitchen at an earlier hour now.  The changing of the season always makes me feel excited and a little wistful at the same time.
