a day in the sun

We ate cheese, walked by the river, had a little pick-er-nick and did some knitting (me) MIT OpenCourseWare (him), bought some more cheese, and walked home. What a glorious day!

Snow Day!

It just snowed and snowed and snowed... 

..so much that New York City public schools were closed for only the sixth time in four years!

So much snow demands warming comfort food - so we're having this for dinner, yum!

I cycled home in the snow tonight, for the first time! Going through the Park was beautiful - there was a such a light dusting of snow over everything - like finely ground swarovski crystals.
The park was deserted - there were entire sections where I was completely alone... a little eerie, but incredibly peaceful.

I'm always amazed at how, even in a city as big and crowded as New York, you can often find yourself all alone and quiet... in the park, on the street, in the subway. Of course, some people feel all alone even when they're surrounded by people. I'm so very lucky to experience it only rarely, and to want to keep a record.
