First Saturday of 2009

There's so much to relish on a balmy January Saturday: a sunny corner on the front porch with neighbors passing by;

A great book about living the simple life;

Ginger-peach tea from a favorite cup;

And a front row view of Mother Nature's winter offerings, but best of all: Tall Husband close by.
