Winter...what?

The weather the last few weeks has been pretty un-winter like for Washington.  I'm talkin' 60 degrees, break out the T's and lots of playing outside!

Yes, the leaves never seem to stay gone for too long.  I'll shovel snow any day rather than rake those pesky things.  But they do make for fun photo opps!

 Oh the things that will entertain a three year old

 and a one year old.  I think dirt is one of her food groups for sure

Take that old man Winter!

This, my So Cal friends, is called dormancy...say it with me dor-man-cy.  Dormancy is a period in an organism's life cycle when growth, development, and (in animals) physical activity are temporarily stopped.  Most of the world does slow down a little Los Angeles, shocking!  But don't you worry, she'll be looking green in no time!

When I shot this all I kept thinking was wow God and DNA, a pretty remarkable combination.  That hair just amazes me and when the sun shines on it, breath taking!

These are my winter obsessions...purchased on my recent Seattle trip.  You can notice my skinny jeans too.  Welcome back '80s

We are some serious sidewalk chalk artists



And thus the reason I left the second L out of the traditional spelling of Mal's name.  They line up together pretty well...I like symmetry!
