Morning at Jones Farm

28 February 2006

Darling,

        I’ve looked back at my diary this morning.  It’s a great blur of paw prints, blackberry ink, and tears, from the time of your arrival on Christmas Day—which “made it Christmas for me,” as they say—until Valentine’s Day when I had regained my senses enough to find those tiny white winter roses for you beneath the undergrowth in the garden.  I feel ten years younger just having you with me.  I suppose that’s half a lifetime.
