desperate for a dose of sunshine...

elsie boo wanted to ski today...
it would be our first time out this winter.
between getting ready for parties and christmas
and an unusual amount of rain last week
we just haven't gotten around to it.
...but to be perfectly honest
it was the last thing i imagined doing today.
it's been days since the sun came out
and it does play tricks on my mood.

but it snuck up on us this afternoon...
and came out for a few minutes.
of course i ran to get my camera
because if i could just capture the light
and hang on to it for future dark winter days...
ohhh and the snow was falling so slowly,
those big fat snowflakes.
the kind you catch on your tongue.
i didn't actually today.
but i should have.
probably would have been good medicine for
the after-christmas-dark-days-of -winter illness i've got.
keep your fingers crossed
that the sun will make another appearance tomorrow
while we're on the hillside.
