My first thought when I awoke this morning was "it is a glorious day for a wedding!" The sun was streaming in the windows from the east, and there was not a cloud in the sky.

Today C. and J. are being wed. Through this exceptionally long cold winter they have been planning for this day. At long last it is here!  What a delight: young lovers begin their next season together on a perfect spring day!

Remembering a summer solstice wedding is a sweet antidote to a cold and icy January day.

Fall weddings can be glorious! 

Lindsey and John celebrated their vows in an intimate ceremony, surrounded by family.

Happy November!
Started a new month with a call from a Wall Street Journal reporter. We talked about the closing of Vermont Yankee and nuclear power in the US for 45 minutes. (My day job is doing whatever needs to be done for the Safe & Green Campaign, from organizing mass demos to hosting visitors from Fukushima, Japan).
I just couldn't figure out a way to slip in my avocation, creating ceremony! Missed that opportunity for national exposure. On the other hand, my friend Suzanne of Luna Bleu Farm in South Royalton, Vermont gave me a plug on her Facebook page ... Is a baby naming ceremony for a farm animal in my future? Hahaha! Peace, Leslie
