sounds splendid. i live for those days.

Okay. Now I know why you live so far away from home. You and Mke are stretching out on a beach in January, gathering sunshine and persimmons, watching spectacularly beautiful skies... and Dad and I are feeding the pot-belly stove in the kitchen non-stop, our delux atomic thermometer reads five degrees outside and we're wrapped up INSIDE in as many layers as we can. What's wrong with this picture?

Can't wait to see what you do with those cute little "flowers" on top of the persimmons. =)

Ahhhh, you're breaking my heart with these photos! They are a far cry from our six months of grey and snow.
