Placing a few sprigs of rosemary on a warm radiator in the winter months can make a dwelling smell heavenly. Despite the arrival of April, Brooklyn still hasn’t managed to
fully jump into spring.

A Final Bidding
White bird in the distant bright, if it please
your youthful heart, come and unfold
those mighty wings by green arrow’s edge.
Around us, red leaves murmur of the approaching
frost, yet, I suspect that her apron pockets contain
secrets which we will never hear.
White bird in the distant light, if it please
your faithful heart, come and promenade
gracefully by my weary, rain-washed eyes.
The persimmons are slinking away and
I fear that we shall never meet again.
If it please you, it would please me.
첫 눈/First Snow
This is my favorite image from the first snow day of 2012, which was our first year in South Korea. How I wish that it wasn’t taken in jpeg format.

Lovely Lucia
Saint Lucia provides light in the darkness, even in the dog days of summer. Saint Lucia’s Day is a winter holiday and is celebrated on December 13th, but I like to keep her spirit in our house year-round.
