The Rosebud Cottage classroom with Miss Ona Wetherall O’Hara created beautiful watercolor paintings of this week’s full moon. Please enjoy their paintings as well as their current winter rituals:
“Winter is dark but each little spark shines the way to a new day.”

Winter Night
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Pile high the hickory and the light
Log of chestnut struck by the blight.
Welcome in the winter night.
The day has gone in hewing and felling,
Sawing and drawing wood to the dwelling.
For the night of talk and storytelling.
These are the hours that give the edge
To the blunted axe and the bent wedge,
Straighten the saw and lighten the sledge.
Here are the questions and reply,
And the fire reflected in the thinking eye.
So peace, and let the bobcat cry.
