my plans to show you my wrap up of the art fair season will have to wait. i've learned that it's okay for plans to change and things to wait. it will happen, just not as planned. it's not often that i share such things here, but last week we had an unexpected and very sad death in my family. this time of year is no time of year for such things of course, but no matter when these things happen it never seems right or fair or okay. just sad. so we've been away, off on the Cape as a family, gathering together AND having quite the adventure in a blizzard that decided to come on up and join us. it's rare that there is ever this much snow (20+ inches) down there by the sea, but it called us to go on out and explore. so we did. (also because we couldn't see out the windows because everything was plastered in white!) so off we went, my sister, my mom, my husband and i...all bundled up, down the street... down to the beach. our beach. it was quite a site. (more pictures here) a winter wonderland, salt water and all.
i'll be back soon. it's time to catch up on the holidays before they get ahead of me... off to finally wrap up the presents.

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah-
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of "our beach" are just amazing! This never happens on the Cape!

So sorry for your loss Sarah. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have caught your snowstorm here in Oklahoma today - 10 inches and it's still going strong! We're not at all used to it here in the southwest, but it sure is pretty. I'll have to see if I have any clothes warm enough to venture out for pictures.
Blessings,
Kelley

I am sorry for your family's loss Sarah. It sounds like your family knows how to make the best of unexpected circumstances. Beautiful photos. I hope your new year is filled with happier unexpectedness.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your news...best to you. When I lived in MA I used to visit the Cape often and it's a wonderful place. I can imagine it was quiet and calm with all the snow around. I think the winter snow helps us appreciate the warm soon to come.
ReplyDeletelovely you got to enjoy the crazy snowstorms here by the sea -- it's crazy the tiny gifts that appear in the midst of sad, tremendous and unexpected loss -- heal well...
