Winter Light
January 28, 2025
Pacific Northwest winter days can be absolutely clear and chilly and still. If an island is involved, the dancing of light on the water can create all sorts of magic. We opened up WestWard for the year this past weekend. The house, grounds and outbuildings got a four month rest since our last stay. A bit of a slumber before a busy new year begins. Home and all of its meanings has always held a very special place in our hearts, personally. Professionally, it is my passion. The fires in Los Angeles and so many people losing their homes and their possessions, as well as so many losing their businesses has been heartbreaking beyond words. Unfathomable really. It has made me double down on the gratitude we have for ours. It can all be so fleeting. So hold your love for home tight. Never take it for granted, and enjoy it in big & small ways, each and every day.
