Four pictures from a day of many vignettes. Just four. Signs of ice along the bike path to the (indoor) farmers market; a girl watching a miniature train spin through fields of poinsettias; in another room (this is at Madison’s Olbrich Gardens) – a boy trying to see if the goldfish matched his gold sweatshirt; and finally – a woman of infinite patience, holding up for the n-th time the tree that would, in the end, be the one that I’ll take home.
And even this does nothing to convey the warmth of this very cold day.
