Good morning!

Welcome to your Saturday. We had the most gorgeous snow here in Maine yesterday, the kind normally reserved for stage backdrops, elaborate forts, larger-than-life snowmen, and giddy sledding. Our mundane world has been briefly transformed into the stuff of dreams—a world in which everything is softer, cozier, and covered with heaps of whipped cream.

Tomorrow we shovel. Today, we play.

“With melted snow I boil fragrant tea.”

― Mencius

Onwards,

Clara

I will admit to being a cold wuss! As a child I loved sledding and ice skating but as an old adult it looks gorgeous and romantic when viewed from afar. Up close, not so much. Enjoy the beauty!

Cold and clear here in Tucson. I loved last week's rain. We can always hope for snow here.
