It started to snow a bit again right as we were packing up the car to head to the airport. I thought of it as a farewell flurry until we are back in May and the lilacs will be in bloom. We feel so fortunate and count our blessings every day we are at Hawthorne that we get to celebrate each season there. This stay was restorative in so many ways—for body, mind & spirit. It was our first time without Bailey which took lots of adjustment. Her giant spirit packed in that eleven pound body swirls around every part of our Hudson Valley home. It always will, which we take great comfort in. The two snow covered lions out front always keeping an eye on and looking after things while we are away. I always say to them as we drive away. Boys take good care of the place for us until we are back. At #HawthorneGhent

Our friend Elizabeth gave us a lovely gift of a John Derian four leaf clover tray when we saw her a few weeks ago in Millbrook. I have wanted to incorporate it into one of the tabletops around the house. It got moved several places before it landed on the dresser top in our room with a variety of other green and natural things, mixed in with lots of vintage finds. Often, you just need to live with a new treasure for awhile in a host of spots before you find where it looks best and where you will most enjoy seeing it throughout your day. At #HawthorneGhent

{Ted’s Tip No. 422} A snow day or just a day off can mean many things to whoever you ask. It might include a cross country ski, or a good book, or a long bath. Whatever it means to you, go all in. Enjoy it fully with every fiber of your being.—from the daily blog post at TedKennedyWatson.com

Ahhhhhhh, we finally got the snow we were hoping for—between 6 to 8 inches out our door. Mister Sive cross country skiing around the property. I tended a big fire. The back porch was like a snow globe. Made a big pot of chicken stock. #HudsonValley #Snow At #HawthorneGhent
