Patterns......

One day last week we got some nice fresh snow. Port Washington looked so pretty with the white frosting covering the trees and the park right outside our windows. Our neighborhood was fresh and new for a few hours. It was good packing snow too. I know this because as I drove down the road toward the grocery store at noon there were snowmen standing at attention on lawns all along my route. I remember those fun making-snowmen-with-kids-days!

During the early afternoon I took Mr. Fenway for a walk just to get some fresh air. He doesn't like to go too far when its snowy and his feet might get cold...but we did make it around the block. Coming back toward our condo I noticed someone's footprint.

The boot left a very distinct pattern. So I carefully put my foot down to check the tracks I was leaving behind. It wasn't as interesting.

I turned down the sidewalk toward the building's entryway and noticed that the snow was gracing the stone wall that marks the border of our property. A zig-zag pattern.

Hmmmm......patterns.....made me think of quilting so the rest of the afternoon was spent happily playing with my fabric stash. Thanks Mother Nature.
