I am a fortunate woman to have so many loves.

My inquisitive daughter Lil and playful husband Alex,

in the awesome snow fort they built

precocious beasts Devorguilla and Hawise,

loving each other, for the moment at least

a functional comfy kitchen, a garden full of promise,

taken last May

and a bevy of friends and extended family.

May you also be surrounded by love this Valentine’s Day.
