Played hard these last few days of school break.

Forest sledding definitely helps get through a rough bout of February.

White and black and grey-blue, and then these red gems of dried sumac. Good winter walk today.

When darkness is actually pretty... We return home from our pre-dawn dog walk.

I thought we were aging, but by 9:00, the dog is actively campaigning for last walk and bedtime snuggles. He's making it worse, this off-switch aging thing.

From a walk just after the holidays (and a week of illness for me). A hike up a south facing hill, coats off, blue sky.

I did not buy the cookbooks. I did capture them for later... Hot Sheet is right up there with "Tarts with Tops on" that I found in London years ago. Looking for little lights this week. Cookbooks, caretaking, smart-ass humor. ❤️

Puddle of dog in a pool of sun. How to do January.

There's water chuckling under there. Travelling at speed, doing it's own good thing. Waiting for spring.

That sky...

Like me, waiting for better growing conditions. Saving seeds, waiting out darker days.
