This morning, it was 42 degrees warmer than it was on Sunday, and it felt a bit like Spring. Maria celebrated by working on her second fiber chair, and we went for a walk out on a nearby road. We are not nearly done with winter yet, and weather this warm makes me uncomfortable in January. But we liked it.

Given the sad and angry and divisive news we are enduring, I am grateful for the fiber chair, it is grounding and uplifting for us.
