Day 57 - February 26, 2010

I love how on a snowy winter night, there is just this glow about the evening because of the reflection of streetlights and other ambient lighting off of the white snow. Tonight, after I got home from dinner with some wonderful women, I noticed the lighting and the snow - and it was like glitter! It was a lot lighter and fluffier and it looked so pretty just twinkling so I grabbed my camera and tried to snag a shot to give you an idea. If you look closely, you can even see some individual snowflakes! I think snowflakes are so beautiful and interesting! You almost forget that those white blobs falling from the sky are little tiny crystals of water - each with their own individual and unique shape! Really amazing :)

Until Tomorrow,

Day 28 - January 28, 2010

I am so glad that it's snowing today! This whole rainy day warm winter thing just doesn't sit right with me. I know a lot of people mumble and grumble about snow, but we live in New England, and I expect to have my snowy winters and unbearably muggy summers! Watching snow fall outside has to be one of the most relaxing and peaceful things a person could ever experience. Put on some snuggly pajamas and toasty slippers and enjoy your hot cocoa, because it's snowing outside! It would be better if it was on a weekend, but alas, I can't be too picky! Heading to Jiminy Peak for the week, so I'll be updating from there so long as the internet agrees with me!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 6 - January 6, 2010

What a beautiful winter day! The clouds are just wisps in a bright blue sky, the sun is sparkling off of the snow - this is why winter is my favorite season! This and the fact that I can go snowboarding :) I haven't been yet this year, but next weekend we're going to Ascutney, and in a couple of weeks we're going up to the Berkshires for a snowboard trip as well! It's not as exotic as last year's Tahoe trip, but hey, we can't do Tahoe every year! I loved this picture because the sun looks like how I would draw it as a kid - with the big long lines indicating the rays of sunlight! I would love to have a big ol' Nor'easter come through here though so we can get some fresh powder and hit up the slopes!

Until Tomorrow,

Athina

Day 2 - January 2, 2010

Two of the most important things in my life are in this picture. I know - we're getting sappy and it's only day two, but Eric and I will have been together 10 years this year so I think that's a bit of a milestone! Daisy Doo is a rather new addition, but she will have been with us for a full year this February, and she is such a wonderful doggie. Sometimes (myself included) we take people in our lives for granted, and we just assume that they will always be with us. Don't take people for granted - let them know that they are important to you and thank them for all they do. So Eric and Daisy, when you see this, THANK YOU! (Eric, be sure to read it TO Daisy...she can't read it herself obviously) You guys make my everyday life interesting and great, no matter what :)

Until tomorrow,

Athina
