More weather because I live in Canada and that's what we talk about

I made a snow angel yesterday. It was a most beautiful day - the sun was shining and the sky was this incredible blue, it was cold but not stingingly so, and the snow was so fluffy and lovely, that light, dry kind, that I felt compelled to swim in it, or something close to that. I couldn't get enough of this day. It made me sad that I had spent all of it up to that point indoors "working".

(It feels silly to open a post as I did there because when I was a kid, it's not like I'd go home and write about a snow angel in my diary - if I had one, which I mostly didn't. Snow angels were just a part of normality, thus not really noteworthy. Not that anything noteworthy ever appears on this here blog.)

Yesterday was an anomaly. This is what the weather has generally been like lately:

Behold the bedroom window and all the icy action that can happen between "double glazing". It makes for some pretty patterns on the panes.

that looks like wax in the corner.

my dad just found a letter I wrote my grandmother in 1984! nothing about snow angels but just as banal.

Ha! It's twice the size now.

Neat. What did your writing look like? You should put it up.

And I keep meaning to tell you that yes, I got my 'prize' (it's on my fridge). Thank-you I love you and I will be biting you back one of these days.
