Winter:

It is SO COLD right now. It's barely passing zero during the days this week.


-So I have created my own winter sun. It's hard to capture just how much bright yellow light it casts. The school had a workshop this morning for Scandinavian window stars. It was fun -I went alone, and got some good socializing done with a few of my co-workers. I brought a giant latte, and talked way too much. I think I really like my new job.



I am enjoying decorating my dining room this year. This is the only space in our home where we are all together at once usually, so that's where I concentrate my efforts, and it really feels special -at least to me.



What else...oh yeah, Baby Zev has some new pants and a new hat which exactly match his unusual dark blue-grey eyes:


-And I have been growing the most delicious sprouts in my kitchen. They taste just like springtime.

Paula! I love that sun you made! I can't wait to see you-check your facebook, but I'm staying at Jess' Friday and hopefully your house saturday? Is that okay? We're going out friday night, to see a band at the watering hole or whatever you call it. Can you come? I can't wait either way, I'll definitely get to spend a lot of time with you guys :-)

Yeah, Saturday is good. I may be able to sneak out on Friday. The last time I went anywhere at night (other than Price Chopper) is last year at this same time when you were here. Can you imagine? Sigh.

oh i remember making stars like that in school, not as big though. my mum still has them and puts them up every year...
mmmh sprouts, meant to make them, bought some mung beans last week, but not sure whether to sprout them on wet kitchen towel, or soil, yours look like you didn't need either!
