flying high

my boy is flying high.

just after his big brother hopped on the bus, the district closed r's school for freezing rain.

he needs some outside time. don't we all.

i'm spending as little time outside as possible. i know, i should just brave it. i wuss out a little more every winter.

this year, i've hit a new low. i am not speaking outside. yes, you read that right. why? my teeth freeze.


r is origami-crazy these days. though, mostly he makes cootie-catchers and airplanes. lots of airplanes.

i find them everywhere. i dodge them as i am making dinner or standing on a chair, rescuing indie off the top of the fridge. my life is at risk all. day. long.

now--to rescue the planes that took some rather precarious landings. and hope that b's bus stays grounded in the ride home.


love and light and clear skies

burst of sunshine

looking for the sunny this winter in citrus. clementines. little oranges. cuties. whatever you might call them. they are delicious. winter and i cannot get enough of them. nor can my family. we are going through about 3 boxes a week. citrus is in season.
oh my, do i love me some clementines.

buying seasonally saves money and is always the best. if you can get it local? even better. i wish i could eat local clementines.....maybe off a tree in our yard? however, citrus doesn't grow so well in below 0 temps. maybe i should pack up our stuff and move to a warmer and sunnier locale? sounds lovely to me right about now. a girl can dream.

back to reality, a couple clementines peeled carefully is a perfect snack--tasting like a burst of sunshine.
