Homecoming

Harkenger House has been abuzz these past few weeks preparing the house for Sailor's homecoming. We decided to keep things simple for this homecoming and opted out of using the traditional "Welcome Home" phraseology.

The bunting above the fireplace was inspired by the days of old wood ships and the salty dogs they made. Land Ho! Two simple words that must have had an amazing meaning to any who've spent countless months on the open seas.

Spring is coming!

Saw the first crocus of the season today.  It's amazing how something so small, so often overlooked in the landscape, yet stands out so strong when those few precious seconds are taken to completely empty the mind and look around and enjoy the moment.  A moment to establish a presence in this time and space and to share it with such a small beautiful thing.
