A morning of dense fog blurring the boundary between earth and sky. It’s been a relatively mild winter, but northerners know that “winter strengthens as days lengthen.” Late January and February frequently bring the coldest, snowiest days.

It’s the time of year for snowshoeing and long walks. We get the wood stove going in the shop to create a safe, socially-distant place to visit with one or two friends.
The pandemic has helped focus me on what matters in this life: friends, family, community, the natural world and love. Everything else is secondary. I am reminded daily that we must take care of each other and the earth we live on.
I’m always available to talk about a visit to the boardinghouse, 315-347-3456.
