Dear friends,

We hope you’re having a fine holiday, that you had a Merry Christmas, and that your prospects for the new year are bright, wherever you are.

We love you all and wish we could see you this holiday season. Since we can’t see all of you we made this card to send. The photo shows a place just down the street from us as it appeared in February, 2015 immediately after a snowfall. The thumbnail is a live link to a full-size image.

Those of you who know Tower Grove Park will recognize this place. To those of you who don’t know Tower Grove Park, it is one of the treasures of our city, created in the nineteenth century by Henry Shaw, along with the Missouri Botanical Garden, which abuts it just north of the place where this photo was made.

Love to all,
Julian Long and Kathleen Farrell
