Thursdays are my work-from-home days. No commute, good coffee, and (at least when the kids are at school) few interruptions.
One of the side benefits is that its easy to pop outside when the opportunity for a photo presents itself. I was standing at our kitchen window when I noticed these flowers (bee balm) basking in my neighbor Erics back yard.
It has been a very cold, snowy week and the visual geometry of the landscape has shifted dramatically. Some days, the cold can really sap your spirit; but Ive also noticed that when everyone is wearing a fluffy white cap its not all that hard to spot winters gifts.
