POST HOLIDAY PEACE

The holiday season has passed and with it the busyness that goes along with Christmas, leaving the quiet of winter to follow.  I just returned home from visiting my mother and siblings, while picking my eldest daughter up from her journeys abroad.  It was my first Christmas without all of my children to celebrate with.  Not an exciting milestone but one that I know will be repeated in years to come.  Tired and stiff from late night partying and the long drive home, I headed out to feed my animal friends. Peering over the load of hay in my arms I noticed the southern sky was filled with soft pink clouds.  By the time I ran in to get my camera and come back, they were gone but as I turned to leave I saw the moon, not yet full, but bright with some of the pink clouds still hanging on.  Dusk was settling in and the crunch of dried leaves underfoot was all that could be heard as I finished my chores in the moonlight.

Peace,

Amy
