Photos of a New Year

Much needed rain fell from the skies in torrents last week. Drivers were discombobulated; the rock hard earth was flooded. This week sunshine has returned, the earth has absorbed the moisture, the kids are back in school, and I've spent a couple days cleaning house, getting it back into ordinary time condition.

It was a good vacation punctuated by many happy moments.  Since I don't have much time to share, I'll just post a few happy photos highlighting the beginning of the year.

Good night light.
