Nurture the Silence

My first two week vacation in years. In preparation for this time with my 18 and 16 year old daughters, my dog and the husband, I gathered the felt pens, coloring pencils, and abstract art and stain glass coloring books. This evening we all sat round the counter and colored. Bert sat in his chair, tending the fire in the wood stove and stroking the dog's fur.

A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.
