A quick weekend trip to see friends renewed my winter-weary spirits.
I talked for hours with my daughter about music and books on the long drive. We ate Thai food. I saw art. I wrote and shared stories with a circle of new friends. I ate hummus and baba ghanouj. I celebrated the arrival of a new spirit in our community of friends.
I enjoyed the winter light. I hung love from a hook in the sun room.
These lovely 3-D hanging heart cutouts, by accomplished artist and teacher Jan (aka SnippetyGibbet), tell me that love is light, intricate, fragile, beautiful.
There are still a few hearts left in Jan's Etsy shop, so you may still have time to share one with a friend.
Mine arrived as swift as Cupid's arrows. Now to decide whether I should keep mine, or share. :)

The cut hearts are so pretty, perfect for the winter light. I'm so happy you had a wonderful weekend with friends and good times with your daughter. As the children get older sometimes long drives are the best opportunities to have one-on-one time, even if you are living under the same roof!
Have a wonderful week ahead.

It sounds as if your weekend was perfect. There's nothing better than spending time with old friends. I'm envious. jan
