ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART FONDER



A gift arrived last night
from my Massachusetts 'family'
Because I can't be with them, this care package
says so much more than mere words;

The best socks ever,
 and, two more pair!!
 Narcissus bulbs
ready to force into bloom,
 and these labor-intensive cookies, that melt on the tongue and are worth their weight in gold!
 Home grown and made Quince jelly too.
 Just look at this color!
 Two!  
Two, not one of those delicious, desert breads.
I dare not open till solstice or they will be gone.
I am blessed by the riches of generous friends!
