i can't believe this took me so long...and i am relieved to be finished with all puzzles until next winter :) 

it required a different part of my brain to focus that hard on tiny details of texture and color and the shape of puzzle pieces.  

to be in the moment that much instead of off mentally in the distance. 

puzzles are really good for me in that way.  

but all i really wanted to do was wander through the tiny streets and put the tiny buildings in place.
