It was snowing this morning (we didn‘t get much). On the right is the 10 year old complaining that she has to go to school & can‘t go outside to play. On the left is Oliver as nosy Ned. He likes to watch everyone outside.
This is a local park that they cover with Christmas lights every year!! #lightdisplay #dashingthrudecember @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Many snowflakes = snow day 😁
"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost,
the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air
is full of it."

Real snowflakes photographed in early 1900s! #BeautyBreak
When the name “Snowflake Bentley” is mentioned in Louise Penny‘s newest book, The Black Wolf, one must Google it. Was delighted to see that this first photographer of snowflakes was real and the amazing Maria Popova had written about him: https://www.themarginalian.org/2020/01/19/wilson-bentley-snowflakes/
pickWritten by Rachel Carson and illustrated by Nikki McClure, this book is a gift of genius. I don't think children will appreciate this picture book the way I did. I could see reading it out loud a page or two at a time, but it's heavy with beauty, wonder, and science.
I colored this picture and wrote this #haiku about it.

The social media algorithm delivered this gem (which I missed when it originally aired back in 2009) unto me. It brought me a few minutes of joy, which I‘d love to pass on! 💎
Joseph Gordon-Levitt performs “Make Em Laugh” from Singin‘ in the Rain on SNL. Live! In one take!
I grew up watching this movie with my grandma. Core memories.
