you might wonder if i was driving while i took these pictures. i urge you to put that thought out of your mind. i cannot say that i wasn't, but i do not want to encourage the habit in anyone, most especially me.

fall is definitely over, and winter is definitely here. i have been wearing my thick down jacket and my uggs almost every day, especially on our morning and evening walks. it turns out that if you are warm, you don't mind the chill in the air so much. who knew.

this year, i want to celebrate the winter solstice, but i am not entirely sure how to do so. any good ideas for me? what are your favorite ways to celebrate things?
