In winter I get up at night,
and dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
-Robert Louis Stevenson

hmmm, amidst the crisp, clean, white look, you mix in the blur, some fuzz and cute little feet!. Very, very interesting, your blog is an amazing mix! That's what I really like about Harrington House, you must be an interesting blend of a person!
