just for one day

a picture of me is on the front page of the fairfax county public schools website. it is from a school visit i did at franconia elementary this month. (i also spent 4th-12th grade in the system so it is doubly cool.)

Hope in Winter

snowflakes are due today and according to UPS mine arrived this morning. thank you for the hair color suggestions and winter bird research. i chose a purple finch for the song bird. it sounds like this. i see them at our bird feeder. i'm not sure why they are called purple when they are actually red, pink and brown.

i can't wait to see the other snowflakes. hopefully they will be at the robert's snow site soon. anna, julia and kelly have previews up. so while we wait, here are links to the snowflake galleries from 2005 and 2004.
