We take advantage of this being the season for re­joic­ing, and embark on a five-week winter vaca­tion. When we return in 2025, on January 20, we will enter the 19th year of Small Things Considered.

 
 

The lichen-covered fence post is in the same place as the one I photographed for the first time in 2015, then again in 2016 and 2017.
