It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since I was basking in warm desert sun. I still think of the sights, people and hospitality of Joshua Tree every day and can’t help myself from planning another trip out west. But right now I am taking in cold and crisp Nashville air and happy that the stars aligned to give me this little slice of peacefulness in the south. Short days & cold nights mean plenty of hot tea, trying new recipes and getting ready for visits from friends. I have a feeling 2013 is about to be the best year yet…
