Cold

So this week’s You Capture challenge was to photograph cold.  Normally, in January, that would not be a problem — however we have had an oddly mild winter.  It gets cold for a day or two, then goes right back to the 50’s and 60’s.  It feels like spring.  So springy, in fact, that someone put artificial daffodils on Orange Street as a joke.I thought they were real for a moment, so I had to stop and take a picture.

But really, when it come to cold, I thought I was going to have to photograph my freezer.  And then this morning, we got the tiniest glimpse of winter.A short, blink and it’s over, snow shower.  For about 10 minutes, they were coming down fast and we thought, just maybe, this might turn into something.  Outside we ran for a quick picture and attempts to catch snowflakes on our tongue.  Nora was fascinated and excited; she wanted to know if there would be enough to make a snowman.  But, in true Nantucket fashion, each flake melted away as they reached the ground.  What I would give for a New York snowstorm right now.

    Nora looks sooo cute!! I love her little boots. Enjoy the mild winter–snow will probably come soon. Good luck with your web business.

    Maybe the door decoration will help to bring more snow your way. “Let it snow”. It was 77degrees here today.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
