While the teen is away, the parents will play. Enjoying some good music and coffee with the college students in Ann Arbor. My wife and I joked that we were the only people in the place not wearing headphones and on a laptop.
Winter’s chill is ever so slowly waning from the air as the melting snows begin to water the plants they once covered.
We stopped so the train could pass which began a dance over the next several miles. First it went over us, and then we went over it, and finally we traveled side by side, through hills and trees, until our paths diverged.
Snow day for the kid as it continues to fall. 6 to 8 inches are expected and I’m sad that I don’t have a window to watch it while I work.
Multiple walks through the trees, feeling thankful to enjoy the snow again. The light is brighter, the world is quieter, and hot drinks are more enjoyable when you come back inside to warm up.
It finally started acting like a proper January! The kid and I filled the yard and front windows with snowmen. ⛄️
This morning I managed to catch the best part of an amazing sunrise. January is supposed to mean snow but we have seen nothing but rain since Christmas.
Taking advantage of the sun’s appearance and appreciating all the leaves that managed to hold on into the dead of winter.
🧱 Finished building my new office buddy. He was so much fun to construct and I’m amazed how Lego managed to build so much personality into him.
Visited the Museum of Contemporary Design in downtown Detroit. The highlight was the work of Jason Revok. He uses custom tools to create works with his entire body that look mechanical at first glance but have a wonderful human quality.
