I brought Maria this down sweater as a Christmas present, but it was so cold this week, I couldn’t bear to see her cold, so I jumped the gun and gave her her present early, and just in time, a polar cold front is all over us this week. She loves the pink. The cold did not deter her from working on her string chair, to debut at the Bedlam Farm Art Show in June. The wind this morning was a bone rattler.
