Wild Turkeys
This time of year, the wild turkeys graze in our yard daily. Living in the middle of the woods means we get to enjoy a great deal of wildlife by simply looking out of our windows.

New Years 2021
On New Years Eve, Dwayne decided to make a cake. He used the same recipe that was used in our wedding cake almost twenty years ago. We played Scotland Yard, a game that he grew up playing. On New Years Day, we had friends over and shared a simple meal of deli sandwiches and delectable desserts. We just enjoyed a few days filled with delightful leisure making the holiday very restful and celebratory at the same time.

Asimov
Norah's reading Foundations. She recently read Dune. She's always rereading Sanderson and Poe and Wells and Shakespeare and Esolen and so many others. Many of the books she reads were assigned as part of her homeschooling, originally. But many books, like Asimov's Foundations, she has come to as avid readers do via other books or conversations with other readers. It has been heartwarming and rewarding to watch her go from book to book to book through her childhood and now into her young adulthood.
