Over the many years I’ve lived at the , I’ve loved shoveling snow. It reminds me of snowstorms growing up in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a true blizzard, and this morning I was granted a rare opportunity to tackle the 19 inches of snow that were falling, with wind gusts up to 47 mph. I wanted to see the snow-covered house, trees, and sidewalk before clearing it, so stepped into the deserted street—the footprint bottom center—and captured our neighbor Maria crossing our house to head to Stuyvesant Park, before deciding that the winds were too strong. Thankful for a warm home to return to after getting soaked while shoveling. Stay safe out there.

Anyone who has had the great privilege of meeting and spending time with Aníta knows what a joy it is to be in her presence. The care and tenderness with which she treats humans and horses alike is a priceless and rare gift.

Aníta’s soulful storytelling, her keen intelligence and ebullient sense of humor, her lovely singing, her delicious cooking, her humility–which will likely make her blush upon reading this, her patient and active attention and uplifting care of and skill with others–her children, family, guests and riders, horses, sheep; all creatures, really–are all marvels to witness.

Happy birthday, dear Aníta.
Til hamingju með afmælið.
Þakka þér kærlega fyrir allt sem þú gefur, fyrir allt sem þú ert.
