Winter Beautiful: Kenneth Libbrecht's Snowflake Images

I will be the first one to admit that I am not a "winter person".  I am usually somewhere warm right now, whether it's Florida, Costa Rica, New Orleans, Mexico, or South Africa (all places I have been in January). I adore the spring when everything comes alive again and I relish the warmth and light of the summer sun, even on the "hot" days. I don't know why, really. Maybe it's because I don't burn easily, or maybe it's because my ancestors are from southern Italy, or maybe it's because I am the biggest baby when I am cold (Right now I'm wearing UnderArmour under my sweater.... and LL Bean socks ....indoors.... and I am still chilly right now). I digress......

I am in awe of Mother Nature when I see these amazing images of snowflakes. "The[se] were captured by Kenneth G. Libbrecht using a specially designed snowflake photomicroscope." (snowcrystals.com) Check it out. Be inspired.

Thank Heaven For Little Girls........

I keep hearing that song from "Gigi".

I love my son more then anything, dont get me wrong, but it was so nice to have fun with hair clips, bows, and tutus as opposed to t-shirts with various comic book characters on them & feeble attempts to find cute hats for my little guy..........


Some amazing women from my graduating class got together for a fun Saturday afternoon at Jean Rhinesmith's house of Bebe A la Mode and enjoyed pink cupcakes, sangria, and craziness with 9 little girls! It was mass chaos with all those little girls in Jean's sunroom. I wonder if she is still recovering from the carnage!


I am trying to coordinate a few of them here. You should have heard us all singing songs to keep the girls' attention (or maybe it's better that you didn't hear us!)(Thanks to Kim for the picture)
