it's been unusually warm. it rained for two days. today was +1C, no wind, and it felt very warm. it smelled of spring, and made me feel nostalgic. do i really want 7 months of winter? not like i have a choice. and i *am* excited about the snow.

i'm ordering a winter amautik, a hooded parka, so that i can carry my 2 year old on my back, and i'm eager for the weather to get colder so i could start wearing him in it.

we went to the pond at the bottom of our street and waded in the slush; the town was hidden in the fog.
