Silence

It is 2:00 in the afternoon and I have just awakened from my first nap of the day to find that it is snowing big slushy wet flakes.  And yes, I said “first nap.”  I have been known to enjoy two or three short naps on any given day off.  My workdays are spent amongst thirteen dancing, twirling, chattering children in a rush of nearly nonstop noise.  Silence is soothing.

Can someone please tell my geraniums that winter is here? I just can’t bear to break the news.

She truly dislikes having her picture taken.  I have to sneak photos of her.  As soon as she realizes what I am up to — she starts to wiggle.
