I've been busy feasting. In more ways than one. It seems that sometimes, one is too busy actually living life to be able to take a step back and reflect on it all. Which is as it should be, truly. What else are January and February for?
Meanwhile, a glimpse of all of the various kinds of merriment that have been going on in these parts.
We journeyed to Maine, where we visited a farm, knitted, walked on the beach, and cooked yummy things:
The sheep at Wolfe's Neck Farm:
The headband I knitted on a cozy afternoon by the fire (bliss):
Popham Beach on Thanksgiving day:
Upon our return, we seemed to be thrust directly into the maelstrom of Christmas preparations. We have decorated, and shopped, and baked, and wrapped, and created... and of course there is much more to go! A busy time, but one filled with such delight.
And a brief pause to celebrate my birthday, amidst the holiday craziness. Speaking of craziness, my friends and family thought I was a nut for wanting to cook my own birthday feast. Thankfully, it was my birthday, thus I was able to do what I pleased. Spinach salad, with parmesan-encrusted broccoli and cauliflower croutons, sweet potato gnocchi with brown butter and sage sauce, and a birthday couronne (just a wreath-shaped baguette, but it looked festive!).
