Laowai

It’s quiet around here. We’re back to our routine. We got a bit of snow and I did my first shoveling of the year this morning. I’m enjoying the sun when it comes out—lighting candles and making fires when it’s not out. I’ve been spending lots of time thinking about our kitchen. We are probably going to start the process of renovating soon. I’m supposed to talk to a cabinet company kitchen designer today. We went sledding over the weekend. Today I didn’t realize it until I was on my third bit of baking (sandwich bread in the morning, banana date bread after I took Claire to school and then biscuits to go with dinner), but I guess the cold weather made me go a bit baking crazy. It’s good to have hungry people to bake for. I’m enjoying the birds in my heated bird bath as I type. 2016 is rolling along.
