At Home

In autumn of 2022, we lovingly created after moving in, a colorful new home. I savor the days through our books, and share these photo memories from spring with you from my diary. I hope that you might enjoy —
Henri Matisse — “There are always flowers for those who wish to see them.”
I’m returning to a gift from our first year here, my bamboo Chinese flute from Serge. I am just able to finger a few notes to play a short tune. Wishing you many moments to call your own. Thank you for reading from me.

Blooms and snowflakes, spring 2024.
Drawing for the town of Pouch Cove in Atlantic Canada.
When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind
Just think if winter comes
Can spring be far behind?
Beneath the deepest snows
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in spring
