Lesson 876: I Love Winter

Hello, Readers!

Eloise, here,

wishing you a happy 

almost-winter weekend.


I'm going to lose followers by saying this,
but I really do love winter.


I'm always glad to see her leave when the time comes,
but when she surrounds us,
I enjoy the season.


There is a softness to it--
a calm quiet that you can't find 
in the other three seasons.

Winter dormancy is good for Eloise
as I get to cozy up inside
doing my favorite things.


We took a walk tonight
and it was gorgeous.
I wrecked the natural beauty of the night
with my light up, blinking hat.
Safety first!
We were out on the road
because the trails are covered
in knee deep snow.


I think my love for winter lamp post scenes
was rooted from one of my childhood favorites.
Bonus points if you know which
book I'm referring to.


Look how pretty 
even the worst of days 
can be.


Erie had a bit of every weather this week.

A warm up


which brought on fog.


And then some more snow.
This is what my gingerbread people
thought about that!


One of the coolest things that resulted
from The Great Thanksgiving Snow
was this snow overhang on the barn.


The rest of the week 
has been spent in gyms.

Fairview


Erie High--


were we welcomed Truck back to the court
after a foot-healing hiatus.


It's fun to watch kids having fun.



My middle child should be out having fun
because she took her last final
after five and a half long years studying.


Ellen Louise is done with her graduate school coursework
and will be starting her externship
after the holiday break.
She'll be learning the real world ropes
of Speech Pathology
at Clark and Klein elementary schools
and 
Brevillier Village.


I'm headed back to the gift wrap table
to tie up a few more surprises to set beneath the 
Christmas tree.

Eloise
