hello december. i look forward to spending your 31 days focused on such things as the tips of cedar trees and the very early decay of crabapples. i promise to drink lots of early morning tea, and build lots of late afternoon fires. i promise i will not set foot in a shopping mall, or complain at any time in public or in private about the holiday season. in exchange, i expect you to keep things reasonable on your end, with wind chills above zero most days, so i can walk with my dog and celebrate your austere beauty in this blog. deal?
