this morning we woke up to a coating of frost on everything
I was out with my camera as soon as there was enough daylight
and then after the early morning drop offs at school and the bus stop
I went out to the valley to see the fog
fog gives everything a softness
and what little color there is
is laid gently against a canvas of mist
in my home
there has been lots of thankfulness these last five days
and now this particular mom is thankful for the return of our regular routine
