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.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. ๐Ÿ˜‚
