early Christmas, part two

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

I was bragging recently that I grew up in a place with four distinct seasons.

In Texas, you see, that's at least noteworthy, if not something to brag about.

Last weekend, during our early Christmas, our little family took a walk.  It was awesome.  It was warm.


From time to time, I miss things.  Like, oh, wearing wool sweaters.  The smell in the air that happens right before it snows.  Cashmere scarves.  Making snow angels.  (And/or watching the fog roll in over the Golden Gate Bridge.  Because if you're watching fog in San Francisco, there are no snow angels.  It's all a series of trade-offs.)

But then, it's almost Christmas and I'm wearing flip flops.  And Jack is finding rock treasures on our walk and having so much fun.



And then I don't mind at all.  Trade off, shmade off.

Hope you don't mind stuff today.

Talk soon,
Heather

  2. Every locale has its pros and cons, right!? I so badly want to photoshop you into that picture with your family. Jack's little expression is priceless!

    1. Ha! I do, too! It's a great picture of everyone! It was a good walk, for sure.

  3. I think that's one of my favorite things about the cold: the smells and the need to hibernate and feel so cozy in your home.
