If you haven't read The Gift of The Magi by O Henry in a long time, or if you have not yet read it, take a few moments to reread it or to experience it for the first time. You can read it online if you don't have a copy. I reread it this morning and it was a wonderful little present I gave to myself. What a simply beautiful story to be treasured at this time of year.
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I am a wife, mother of two, grandmother to three, and companion to two Newfoundland dogs, one feral cat and ten chickens. We have a wholesale nursery and grow many Japanese Maples.
It's a good life!
