” ‘Twas the night before Christmas,

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring,

Not even a ...."

Okay, this isn’t a mouse. It’s Cornbread, one of the little cats that likes to hang around my garden–possibly because I keep out a bowl of kitty chow for furry visitors. He’s pictured here on a recent afternoon, enjoying a snooze on my porch.

As the year draws to a close, I'd like to thank you for reading my blog and my books, and for 2009, I wish everyone the gift of time: more time to nurture our homes and gardens, to enjoy the beauty of the natural world, and to be with friends and family.

One final thought: I hope you'll make plans to attend a Christmas Eve service tonight. It doesn't matter if you're not a member; everywhere, people will welcome you with open arms. This season is about celebrating the arrival of Jesus, who brings light into the darkness and hope into the world. Rejoice--unto us, a Savior is given!

Merry Christmas!
