Abby and I are staying in this Valentine’s Day. We made breakfast together and chewed up a few chores, but for the most part, we are just being together. I gifted her with chrysanthemums, which we both liked better than roses, since she can plant them in the spring. I also gave her a unique crystal pendant, which she is wearing today, and planning to wear tomorrow.

For much of the morning it snowed yet again. This is easily the snowiest winter either of us can remember here. It was really beautiful.
