my favorite color is shiny

snow business

today i am grateful for...

playing in the snow before work. i had high hopes of going sledding with pals, but the shop ain't callin' a snow day.

so i borrowed a few of ed's warmest gear, and crunched through the park.

into the snowy woods, lovely dark and deep.

and i brought some ballet slippers- a little keepsake i purchased at the nutcracker at lincoln center. which by the way, was amaaazing. george balanchine's version might be my absolute favorite. i wanted all of the costumes belonging to the sugar plum fairies and snowflakes. i would hang them all on my wall. i am currently listening to the soundtrack and bopping along to the music.

saw some pretty dried hydrangeas coated in powdery white.

and a lonely little leaf

traipsing in the thick snow was the perfect way to start the morning. i just wish i could stay and play instead of going into work today. aren't there such things as snow days up north? i hope y'all make some snow ice cream or build a snowman today.
