Hellebores in the perennial garden are in full bloom

We spent this cold, rainy day at home until late afternoon, then went to one of our neighborhood pubs for dinner. We reminisced about this day, all those years ago, our small intimate wedding followed by a week in a little cabin at the edge of the ocean. It was a magical week with perfect end-of-winter weather, clear and bright and sunny.

We always intended to go back and spend our anniversary in this little cabin. We loved it so much, DWs brother and sister-in-law spent their honeymoon there, a couple of years later. But the following year, a huge winter storm carved away the cliff, and the cabin tumbled into the sea.
