*Lighting the first Chanukah candle last night
*Looking out the window at a dusting of new snow
*Amaryllis blooming
I kind of feel caught up at the moment. Gifts ordered, many wrapped already. Nice exchange with my grandson who lives in Santa Barbara near one of the big California fires. (He's all grown up and a working man these days.) Relieved that he's on the far edge of an evacuation zone so not too terribly worried. But he's ready to leave if necessary.
