Snow like Cotton
The snow fell like cotton early this morning and when I left the house for Saturday errands, the day was bright and pure.
January days have a clarity like no others in Northern Wisconsin. The sunlight reflects off the snow and brightens everything, showing only that which is necessary and true.
Today's light was not flat, but intense and sparkling.
Our moods are lighter today, and my husband and I joked while folding laundry. We are growing older together and taking pleasure in small everyday tasks. Our life together is simple and clear.
Our Saturday night supper will be simple, too: Small tenderloins with herbs de Provence and mushrooms and a salad of lettuce, tomato and olives.
There is a contentment in January, and an optimism in the young year.
I hope this is true for you, too.

A simple meal here also. An organic roasted chicken, baked potatoes, and homemade fermented sauerkraut. (too much beige on the plate, but the romaine lettuce was just not fit to purchase earlier!)
Blessings to you this new year, Mimi. And I love your new avatar!
Have a good week.
I guess I was feeling sweet on Saturday, Daniele.
I keep waiting for us to get more snow here, Pam.
Cyn, I think you sent your good weather to the northwest!
Susan, I had high hopes for the direction this blog would take, but for the past 4 years, no time to bring it there.
March can be trying, Betty. When will spring finally get here? It does though...eventually.
