The sun is shining on our frosty yard. We all slept – all night – without a peep.

Ears are happy, kids are happy, parents are happy. I'm off to the yarn shop and then to a friends to sew today. Thanks for all the emails and comments wishing us well yesterday. The magical treatment in the end was St. John's Wort oil. Amazing. (Thanks Andrew and Carol for the tip.)

Hooray for natural healing and smiling kids!
