February brings fabulous light when the sun does shine and because it's so low in the sky this far north, it does so quite brightly on my baking table. As the fire crackles to life in the oven behind me and mouthwatering smells fill the air from Mels soup pots all lined up like soldiers on the stove, the front of the house hums away... the tables full of people chattering and laughing. It's a good mix of familiar faces and out of towners (you can so tell) everyone enjoying this one little moment where the sun is shining in and the food and coversation satisfying. Three legged mule, their old timey bluegrass, playing away on the ipod keeps the tempo of the room perfectly. I love moments like this, live for them, actually. Working as hard as we do, it's difficult to remember to stop and take a moment to appreciate the fact that we get to spend our days in such a lively and creative environment. When I look around the room and reflect back on the nearly 17 years of bakery life lived, I feel very happy to be right here right now.
