I don't know what that title is about. I just needed a title, and the skies were magnificent during our little road trip (and are still).

As if that weren't enough, the bus to Baltimore… Continue reading In which I travel to Baltimore and meet Luna, then to Adamstown to collect old things
Feeding the friendly chickadees. They are fearless and hungry for sunflower seeds! Great day for sledding! (Also very familiar to that ink drawing I did a few days prior...) photos taken on December 27, 2010
