A bananaquit having a snack from the remains of our breakfast fruit.

Our bungalow came with its own private outdoor bed for reading / daytime napping.

We’re in Aruba for a little break. This will be our accommodations for the next few days.

This snowbank has been here (Boston, on my walk from office to train) for long enough to get marked up by DigSafe.

The fancy new fare-enforcement turnstiles at South Station are wrapped up like arborvitae, waiting for warmer weather or better software or something.

This is the authentic hand-knit traditional Icelandic sweater that I bought on our trip last winter. It cost a pretty penny and I joke that they use one entire Icelandic sheep’s wool in each sweater. It is VERY WARM and is my favorite item of clothing for my commutes into Boston this week.

For some reason they’re adding these tiny little heaters (near the top of the photo) to the ends of the commuter rail platforms at South Station. I can’t imagine they’ll do much good.

 

 

The eggs we get from our CSA are “nest run” — not graded for size. The carton I opened today had a particularly large variation, with 3 eggs over 70 grams and 3 around 40.

One of the few benefits of leaving the house while it’s still dark this time of year is when the crescent moon is as eye-catching as it was this morning.
