Winter Day at the Pond


The ducks were extremely hungry today!
                                                                          

Their island home is transformed....

When Sophie is knee deep (or more) you know it's deep snow!



It's such a beautiful, peaceful setting--it truly nourishes my soul.

Snow Snow Snow!



And more snow. It's a winter wonderland today! The perfect day to stay inside (except for a snowy walk) and catch up on school and home tasks. I made blueberry muffins and chiles rellanos for breakfast, and Alberto's stracciatella soup for lunch.

Winter outside, but the promise of Spring on the table....

Treats for Sophie






Ava and I spent an afternoon together and did a few projects. One was making homemade dog treats for Sophie.

There was some bonding time with the recipient...

We also had time for a snowman art project:

What a joy to bring in the New Year with dear friends John and Letha! In past years it has been a challenge to stay awake to see midnight, but the time flew by and we ended up talking till 1:30!
