Greetings from the end of Sunday evening.

I feel that I stuck my neck out on Friday by mentioning that I was picking up the film, so I thought I would show you a few that I have scanned.

They're not earth shattering. They're not very interesting, and not very good, but they also are not that bad.
So, I'm happy. Against Tim's advice (he says stick with digital) I even bought another roll of film. The guys in the camera shop were very encouraging. (Go figure.)

These photos are all from my first week in Maine, in August. We just finished up that jar of honey in the second photo up there. You can find the lovely people who made it, and their lovely home which they rent out, here and here.

Other things-
I received an incredibly kind, completely unexpected gift in the mail from a friend whom some of you know, but perhaps like me, have never actually met. Increasingly, I am getting so much encouragement and inspiration from all of you here in this community we've built. Some days you all are the ones who boost my spirits, and help me to see the good in an otherwise perplexing reality. So to you, Molly, and to all of you, I say a most sincere and heart-felt thank you.

And, finally...I know that we are all about to get crazy busy. No matter who we are or what the size or shape of our families, these next few weeks are always just a little bit harder, and a little bit more wonderful than the rest of the year. I just wish for all of us a few quiet, peaceful moments in the middle of it all.

Have a beautiful week, friends. Thanks for reading.
