a mellow winter

off to school.

the weather is mild. the winter gear has been terribly underused, but we're enjoying the sunshine, the carefree hat or no hat mornings. this is the game we new englanders play. peering out the window each morning not knowing what the ground will look like, ready to shovel our way out the front door or skip to school in our sneakers. 
it makes us flexible, it makes us hearty.
