if i had to sum this winter up in one word it would be
SNOW
cold , crisp, crystalline
clinging
to hand knitten
hats, mittens, sweaters
SNOW

the sweater was knitted decades ago for my children
the hat was a gift for lilith from nicole
and the mittens were chosen by litith at a church rummage sale before christmas
we are digging out again this morning from winters latest blanket

and it grows in abundance around my sister Helen's cottage near wakefield quebec
it got its name from the red cap the british soldiers wore when they fought during the american revolution
the red cap is actually an algae living atop a green fungal part
they support each others metabolism and one would not survive very well without the other
they would certainly not look as beautiful either

i love how they look like tiny red flowering trees in that last photograph

what you ask
the snow
so happy i treated myself to a long winter walk by the wetlands

and then home to a fresh salad in my sunfilled kitchen
with my furry friend
awaiting lili's arrival for an afternoon and evening
of
fun
