Nicie, every time I read something of yours I feel happier, but that's especially true of this post. There are so many threads here — nature, family, poetry, travel, each of these dividing into numerous sub-threads — that many of us would have no idea how to transform them into a flawless fabric. But you have the knack! And the knack as well for making and choosing just the right photographs. Looking forward to the next post, and feeling happier already. Thank you!

That is high praise coming from you, Dear Reader. And if I brought you some happiness then it makes the whole year’s work, let alone the week’s, worthwhile!

You and your sisters handled Marion's passing with grace. This is such a lovely tribute to her. So sad for you Eunice. Marion left a wonderful family.

This is so lovely! And it looks gorgeous. Thanks so much. It's been forever since I've been out there, at least a dozen or more years. I had a friend who lives in Berkeley, but he used to live near Muir Woods and Mt. Tam, and I visited him at least three times in my twenties, and then he got married in Pt. Reyes. I need to get back to N. Cal.

That is gorgeous, Nicie—both the writing and the photographs. You make me miss the NorCal coast and redwoods. I'm glad you were able to memorialize and celebrate your sister.
