Winter weather and escapes


Here is where I am. Brrrrrr.

The swans are congregating in the only open area of the lake.



This thing lies. The sun is shining on it, faking us out.


Here is where we should be...

...Spending the afternoon at the pool.
...Riding my bike to Mom's house.

... and terrorizing the animals at the zoo. Oops, I mean playing with the animals at the zoo.
And playing Texas Hold 'Em, taking the guys money!

Walk outside...look at the way the snow lays so soft on each branch of every tree...take in a deep breath of refreshing crisp air-AND THEN RUN BACK INSIDE AND GRAB A BLANKET AND SOME TEA-TIME TO HIBERNATE!!!! (or you could just open a window and call it a day)

One day the thermometer outside read 80 degrees. The snow wasn't even melting. The sun bouncing off the windows makes that thing go crazy and makes us laugh.

Amy - it's just like living in a Christmas card - a very, very cold Christmas card.
