The house has passed its framing inspection and work proceeds... our fabulous builder Ralph will be working tomorrow on New Year's Day!
Here is a glimpse of the snow around the sunroom windows.

This beautiful picture was taken from just outside our sunroom, looking southwest. The drifting snow and setting sun seemed to almost dance with light and a glorious incandescence.
We were amazed that our builder had been working nearly unceasingly with different subcontractors and were delighted with all the work that had been done when we visited for the first time in a week...
This evening we have decided that we need to spend quiet time in reflection and meditation, allowing all the events of this extraordinary year in our lives to be held in reverence and quietude. Although friends here have invited us to other celebrations, they have been utterly supportive of our need to reflect and restore as we look toward the New Year.
In the same way the sunshine lights the white snow, remembrances of this year light my spirit. There has been much sadness and dark shadow, but equally...the hope and joy in all that is yet-to-be, all that is manifesting, these things brighten and illuminate and give sustenance.
As 2013 opens its unknown self to me, I open to its mystery and trust that the light contained within the unfolding of each day will yield this kind of beauty , this kind of singular delight.
Happy New Year to all of you, who have journeyed with us each step of our way...
Judy
