(Not doctored in any way, I promise.)
I saw this from my classroom window when I was working late on Friday evening. Although not that late, because the sun sets before 4:00 p.m. these days. I stepped outside to the snowy playground to take this.
It's pretty here. R and I got cheapo ice skates from Play it Again Sports (mine were $5!) and tried them out today. We slipped and slid and is it just me or are my ankles not in the shape that they were the last time I went skating? (That would have been maybe 1992.) We will try again next weekend and I will try to not be a big weenie. R pointed out that fear of falling is nothing to a well-padded 8 year old who's lower to the ground and recovers quickly. Food for thought, anyway.
