snowflakes

No, it's not snowing in Texas.
I heard it snowed here on Christmas,
but we were out of town.

I didn't realize how much I looked like a chauffeur,
 until I saw these photos.

Don't worry. I never wore this outfit in public.

I only wore this all white ensemble to mimic
 this style imitating art challenge, in November.

Here are some snowflake things I like:

Middle: 1960's White Enamel Snowflake Necklace
Top Right: Silver Snowflake/Water Droplet Necklace
Bottom Right: Snowflake Beaded Pendant

Left: Vintage 1970's Bell Sleeve Sweater 
Right: Snowflake Sweater Vest

Left: Snowflake Slouchy Sweater
Center/Right: Black Snowflake Tights

This is my nephew Speed Racer from November.
His mom got him dressed to play in the snow,
 but he didn't want to go, so he didn't.
NO, I don't like to see him cry.   :(

These are recent photos of my nephew Speed Racer.
What a difference a few months makes.  :)

This is my husband waving.
 He pulled our twin nieces on their sled.

My nephew Baby JJ stayed inside on the snowy day.

My guy looked happy to be out in the snow.
I stayed inside.
I'm a wimp like that.  ;)

My nieces' and my nephew's dogs playing in the snow.
My husband took these dog photos.
Yes, you can see his sense of humor.

My road trip photos from Utah

To glitter like a frosty snowflake, pristine ice crystals, frozen water, steely, melting.
Completely original, no two alike,
dissolving in the sun, sparkle fades.

There's nothing pristine, not even snow,
 definitely not me.

Frosty, on the other hand, has its moments.

Yes, sparkles can fade. And so does sun.

Every night it goes to sleep. It sets, to reappear,
like hope, and strength, like magic and love.

 Like feeling something,
 even when things are too dark to see.

Freshly fallen snow can be like a brand new day,
a brand new year, a brand new beginning.
