Dear Friends, Happy New Year to you all. “And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that never were.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke As we transition into a new year, Rainer Maria Rilke’s words in the quote above hit close to the heart. A fresh, new calendar looms on the horizon, full of [...]

Dear Ones, It has been a lovely Spring here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The transition from the end of the Winter season to Spring speaks of the fullness of life and beauty.
