Oops! Running out of Thursday… Three beautiful things from the past week or two:
1. Metro decorated for Christmas. Metro Center is outfitted in green and gold garland. And the Dupont Circle ticket shack is sporting garland in red.
2. On a cool, rainy night, the smell outside the house of the dryer venting.
3. Nearly invisible snow flurries drift down as Rudi and I leave to cut down our tree on Saturday. By the time we’ve tied the tree on the roof and are heading back toward the District, the snow flakes are obvious even to casual observers. After a stop at a store or two, we return to find snow coating the grass and the car.
It snowed here today! Tovli, snow, is one of my two dozen Georgian words, so I sound a little like a delighted child going around telling everyone “Snow! Snow!” since that’s the best I can manage.
I feel a little like a delighted child, too. Except for that whole “have to go to work” thing.
Can’t wait to see you, just over a week now.

Can’t wait to see you too!
