Little by little the bird feathers its nest, and object by heart burnished object we surround ourselves with lovely necessities of memory and function.

Whether my nest is an old farmhouse, a sixth floor tenement walk up, or a brownstone basement... whether I share it with family, vagabonds, women of heart and mind, or a little brown cat and a sweet ginger banjo, my principal joy is filling it with light and laughter (and corralling).
