Winter chandelier

A sunny, clear-skied morning. From every house hangs a sparkling chandelier of intricate icicles.

This is my final submission to a river of stones, a month-long challenge to notice (and record) one thing every day. I hope you’ve enjoyed the past month of getting stoned.

 

Watch out!

“Beware of falling ice,” one sign warns. “Snow falling from bridges,” a highway sign flashes. So many nudges toward mindfulness.

This is my Day Thirteen submission to a river of stones, a month-long challenge to notice (and record) just one thing every day. I’ll be posting my “stones” both here and on Twitter, where submissions are tagged as #aros. Enjoy!

 

You’d better watch out

Forget about Santa Claus and his flying sleigh–the real risk looming overhead tonight comes in the form of icy eaves giving way to gravity. (Compare today’s Christmas eave with last year’s.) Thanks to this weekend’s snowstorm, we’ll definitely have a white Christmas here in Newton…but thanks to today’s rain, our white Christmas will also be wet, icicle-fringed, and often icy underfoot. Watch your step while you make merry, and have a safe and happy holiday.
