Every year during February vacation (and sometimes other vacations) Lillia makes pretzels with Mémé (my mother-in-law). Here are some photos from this year’s bretzel-making day.
life in black & white // february
From “Woman at the Window,” by Theodore Deppe:
As in a waking dream, the iron glides down a sleeve
and there’s no tornado, only warnings and warm sun
on a young woman’s cheek and shoulder,
only the way the ordinary light of morning
ravishes her as she stares off
at something beyond the frame.
morning coffee
Don’t worry — it’s decaf.
waiting
From “Mean Free Path” by Ben Lerner:
I finished the reading and looked up
Changed in the familiar ways. Now for a quiet place
To begin the forgetting. The little delays
Between sensations, the audible absence of rain
Take the place of objects. I have some questions
But they can wait. Waiting is the answer
I was looking for.
When it is so cold outside that you literally cannot take a breath, winter is reduced to…
…waiting for spring.

Right now Lillia is working on finding her place in the world, drawing prolifically, enjoying The Lord of the Rings, and pining for winter snow.
