Happy Valentine's Day!

From our home (with a very low table) to yours.

Elegy

A long time ago, someone gave me Zoe Mulford's song Elegy (Crystal Glass), which you can hear in its entirety on her website here. The lyrics are also posted there.

Do listen to it, and leave me a comment if you do. I think it's a lovely message. I draw it to your attention in honor of the ten beautiful crystal iced tea glasses my mom has given me, as part of her move to a smaller home.

Me at age 9

Another thing cleaned out of Mom's closet and now coming to me:

One of our summer vacations was a trip to Rockport, Massachusetts, an artist's colony along the eastern seaboard. While we were there, my parents had portraits done of us four kids.

Here's mine. I've always quite liked it. I look like quite an ordinary little girl, but thoughtful.
