The little creek has frozen and has turned into a small road for the creatures here. It's a busy single lane.

I wondered what Lolly Willowes would be like reading the second time around. Would it be just as good? Yes, possibly more so. It's utterly delightful and I'm so glad to be reading it again. #NYRBWomen26

Yoko Ono, Painting in Three Stanzas

The first stanza - till the vine spreads.

Yoko Ono's exhibit at the MCA is a breath of fresh air. One of my favorite parts was when she sold pieces of mornings, each a shard of glass.

Dreamy snowy day in downtown Chicago. Clouds wrap and unwrap the skyscrapers; the tallest one in the back is completely shrouded.

The very odd thing about making candied citrus peel (this is from a few clementines; we've been eating so many) is that I made candy from something I usually throw away. And now I'm going to mix this candy into a shortbread batter.

I don't think these paperwhite bulbs will bloom during the holidays but that's fine as long as they do bloom. It's been such a brutal winter already. Flowers are a must!
