Quietude


We had a quiet day. Mark got the stalls cleaned. I got dinner prepped. I did say it was a quiet day.



I had a brisket in the oven for a few hours. Yes, under the onions there is a beef brisket. The onions absorbed all of the goodness as the brisket slowly cooked. I never tire of wonderful slow-cooked winter meals.


Now another year begins. 2025 was unstable and unsettling. Will we be turning a page? Ever hopeful. We do what we can and we appreciate what we have. I appreciate all of you. May it be a good year.

Winter meals are so comforting aren't they? Your dinner looks amazing and your home looks so warm and inviting and cozy. I hope 2026 is a better year for you!

I don't know when we met, whether it was just this year or a little earlier. I know it hasn't been that long compared to some. It's been good to know you and see your home and wonderful meals.
