Hotei enjoying a little sunshine

Hotei enjoying a little sunshine

WE HAVE HAD MORE THAN A WEEK OF FOG that just stuck around all day, day in and day out. It has been so tiresome. But yesterday and today the fog melted away and we have sunshine. I like the way the low angle of the winter sun lights up the leaves and dried seed heads around the garden; it feels happy. So here is a little tour of what’s going on around here.
