4 corners.






In case you haven't heard, it snowed last night.

After spending a little over two hours shoveling today, I headed outside to take some photos.  Most of the better ones are from my Nikon, but ye olde iPhone did the trick for these four corners of my snowy backyard.

1.  our trellis (and last year's Christmas tree!)
2.  the fire pit and teak bench
3.  Mum's gardening corner, and
4.  The Red Wheelbarrow.

4 corners.






The four corners of my bedroom.

It's strange to be in a transitional phase-- looking for jobs, applying to graduate school, making moves to take the next step.  Among countless conversations with friends in a similar phase of life, I can't really complain, or feel "left behind".  I feel excited.  I could find something in Philadelphia or in New York.  I could be working full-time, I could be going to school for my Masters.  I could even be back in Dublin, for goodness' sake.
Then there are the questions like, "Should I paint my bedroom?"  I can't decide what's worth my time or not.  I have no idea how long I'll be here or where I'll be next.

It's all rather exciting (that is, until the excitement wears off and I can't stand to look at my résumé for one more second).

As a sidenote, there's nothing like Downton Abbey, Olive Kitteridge, and a little amoxicillin to make a bout of strep throat bearable.
