These silver beech leaves, so unremarkable during the rest of the year - somehow "pop" in winter. They glow against the backdrop of white, grey and pine. Today, we had one of those snow days you only dream of. No need to go out in cars, forecast to continue through the night which lifted the pressure to clear the driveway and a whole day in which to luxuriate. We went cross country skiing this morning, Shawsheen River loop - worth about 600 calories an hour (guilt free eating the rest of the day - hoooraaaaaay!!!!) and then settled in with our various parallel play activities of reading and collaging and (in Steve's case) hoop watching. I'm loving the new year so far!
