Today is Josh's birthday, and we're living it up. We've been...
seeing: white-frosted everything, from roofs and windowsills to tree branches and cars to bicycles left outside and (with a different sort of frosting) the tops of our breakfast donuts; pale blue sky; drifts taller than our boots; Josh tearing through tissue paper on some pretty great gifts
hearing: the wind as it gusts; voices of family and friends on the phone; more wind
smelling: that distinctive smoky greasy haze of a tiny shop devoted entirely to donuts; the chill of a morning coated in snow; woodsmoke in the background, a constant presence from neighbors who heat with fireplaces
tasting: those donuts (glazed cake, maple bar with nuts, strawberry-covered raised); hot coffee; something delicious on a dinner date (anticipation!)
feeling: the breeze on my cheeks; so thankful for warm coats and boots and hats and gloves for the two-mile trek through a 25-degree wonderland; happy to celebrate another year of life with my guy
