Fill, Fold, Repeat

Snowbound from the blizzard.  My boy and his pals play in the living room.  Loudly.  So loudly that it becomes unbearable.  Several times I request that they lower their voices.  I didn't want to end their play, or the noise altogether.  Just the volume.  I felt a headache coming on.  You know the feeling.  I surrendered, took medication, then resigned myself to the kitchen where I began preparing homemade vegetarian wonton soup.

it was all I could do.

Snow Days 2015

"Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”- Mary Oliver

Some call this hill Mt. Reston, but the kids call it King Kong....

and on the day it melted into muck...we went bowling with pals.

Snow Day 2013

"as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending" - ee cummings
