to say we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of my snowboots would be putting it lightly. silas and i were pretty much dressed and waiting for the brown delivery van to drop off my new winter kicks. we were out the door and rolling around in snow within twenty minutes, there was late day sun to soak up. afternoon naps and return policies be damned!

silas was so involved in investigating the snow that he crawled around forever and ignored my requests for a portrait and inquiries into whether or not he was chilly.

so i busied myself by crafting a snow lounger.

then the snow bunnies arrived.

and did some quick winter sprints.

wednesday was the last green city winter market. we bought all the apples that we could carry and what we hope is enough garlic to get us through to the spring. wednesday markets=free entry to the nature museum. so we visited some reptiles, whispered with the butterflies and scoped out tiny birds.

fish face with the turtle.

olivia and the water monitor.

after a while, nile crocodile.

talking about whatever it is that they talk about.

this time silas makes the fish face at the fish and maybe a butterfly or two.
