"It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed."


-Lauren Oliver

Snow.

Since this time around we didn't get much snow at all, I'm choosing to upload a picture that I took back in 2009. This is Nick, Austin and Heath, attempting to make a ball of snow tall enough and large enough to roll down the hill at the library. They made it about halfway down the hill before this beast split in two. In the end we made a ramp out of it and proceeded to sled all day. Definitely one of my more memorable snow days.

Art that inspires me.

I'm honestly not sure who this is by, but it looks to be watercolors and marker. When I found this imagine, the color is what caught my eye and the portrayal that hands are the holders of any number of things. A simple wave, a touch, a hug, even art itself begins with the hands. They can be warm or cold, they can create loving gestures or angry ones, they can click a camera or hold a pencil and paint brush. Without hands this piece wouldn't exist, without them I wouldn't be able to type this. I like that two simple things attached to a person's arms can create an infinite amount of things and feelings.
