I like the last day of January.
Spring is getting closer.

Yesterday Oliver and I took a bike ride along the Jordan River Parkway.
It was very cold ( 32 F) ,very cloudy, and smoggy, and quite, and interesting.

I love how quickly the river changes.





In the winter the river is low and bare.
You see different things.

You see the nests.

The bog.

A cold desert bog.

Nests.

A bank on the Jordan River.

Tracks.

Nests.

The river bank.

The Jordan River

Nests.

Groundhogs.

Snow runoff.

On the way home I picked this up from the side of the road.

I don't know what it is but it's metal and rusty and I like it.

Two good days.

Thanks friends

Best Day Ever

Best Day Ever

Today we had a binky party for Freya and Teah.
(Freya is 6 and 1/2 that's way too long to have a binky but that's neither here nor there).
(Teah will be four in May).

The party has been planned for two weeks.
So Freya and Teah were prepared.



I bought balloons to send the binky's into space.



Lots of balloons.




Chris made chicken salad served on costco croissants.
Kate and my mom brought fancy, fancy cupcakes from a new shop in Salt Lake (So Cupcake)



Today I fell in love with fancy, fancy cupcakes.

After cup cakes and chicken salad we sent
the binky's into space .

There was lots of cheering, screaming and merriment.

There has been no anxiety nor mention of binky's tonight.

Binky's are happily in space.

Also I finished a cuff.

Freya wants to share the photo's she took and uploaded (with help).

She's a smart and good girl.

It was a very good day.
