Call it whole-body shock: After spending two months in California, where the plum and cherry trees had already begun blossoming—where I was able to take a Brazilian dance class twice a week and even tie on my tap shoes for the first time in over 20 years—I flew back east again, back to my life in Connecticut, where a very relieved and happy husband had been pining for my return.
You have such a beautiful way with words and the magic of winter back East, burrrr :) We keep our townhome at 66 so we use blankets to keep warm but am thankful we don't live in the East, sorry but this is true. My husband is from Chicago and moved to the Bay Area several years ago with no regrets + he had to move here to meet me, a native San Franciscan - lol :) Sending warmth to you dear Barbara :)

Stay warm Barbara! The crocuses will be coming up in a few weeks. Say hi to Wayne.
I will, Gina! Hi to you and Chris from us!
Beautifully written as usual Barbara! I know that you don't like the cold and snow but I'm so happy that you are back! Best, Gillian
Thank you so much, Gillian! 💕
heart stirring weather--both without and within
