And the seasons, they go round and round.

Can it possibly really have been a whole year since my last post? I'm sorry. Life is so rich and full, it's hard sometimes to take the time to put it all down in writing. Our family has grown! Working chronologically backwards, in May, dearest daughter Maggie moved home!

She spent a "retail year" following her graduation from college, and is now embarked on a period of self-discovery and discernment which we all hope will lead to her next adventures in life. We are very glad to have her here! Backing up, in April we adopted a second Potcake pup. Meet Posie!

She is a perky girl and is well loved by all, including Nellie. Our biggest addition(s) however, are the jammers who now come regularly to our house to play wonderful music! It's the Live Free and Pie Jam, started by a group of wonderful young folks who wanted to play the kind of music we play. Hunt said, "Come to our house!" I said, "I'll bake pie!" And the rest is history. We have met weekly since October, and these folks, and the additional ones who come and go from time to time, give us great joy and delight as we play music, eat pie and other delicious goodies, and share our lives together.

Finally, Hunt is working on violin #4, which will be the next new member of the family. He has sold #s 1-3, and we are so very grateful for the success of the business, the abundance of the garden, and above all, for the love that permeates our lives.
