This weekend, we’re. . .
Hitting the road with J, Sam, and a pup this afternoon!
We’re off to Charlottesville and then camping with the family. Yes, the whole Farson-Pratt-Gray family.
We’re going to celebrate b/c it’s a miracle after all (*finding a weekend that worked)!

Winter morning
It feels like summer//70 degrees// Shorts to class.
I am entirely unprepared for a real winter.
Winters are long here.
The road a dark gray, the maples gray, silvered with lichen,
and the sun low on the horizon,
white on blue; at sunset, vivid orange-red.When I shut my eyes, it vanishes.
When I open my eyes, it reappears.
Outside, spring rain, a pulse, a film on the window.And suddenly it is summer, all puzzling fruit and light.
– Louise Glück, Winter Morning
For your Monday:
+ A pretty song about frost falling (?) for your week.
+ A pretty photo of St. Petersburg in snow
+ A pretty video of Iceland
