Closet chaos. Sandwich shop.Having a hard time deciding what to wear is not what I need on Thursday mornings. However, a marvelous sandwich from this place is a great way to end my long teaching day.

Feminist extreme travel book. Orange tree leaves.When working hard, it is nice to have a book that takes me away for a half hour before sleep. Every winter the tree does this while it is trapped inside and it makes me nervous.

Chinese New Year/ Valentine's Day chocolate box. Rosemary.The husband went all the way into NYC to get me this for Valentine's Day. The rosemary has been left out for the winter in an experiment. (Last year's rosemary did not love the dry air inside last winter.)

Food coloring and snow.I actually think these are both beautiful, but I suppose either could be judged awful.

Coral paperweight. Underplowed local roads.Paperweight is in my lovely office on campus. Did I get stuck in snow driving near my house? Yes, yes I did.

Snow covered world. Sock on the window. A huge blizzard shut down the world. It is a bit pretty. Melting snow drips onto the window right above our head as we sleep. This stops the tat tat tat noise.

LA Burdick chocolate box. Green stuff on Ikea chair.We went to NYC for the weekend. There is now an LA Burdick store near Union Square. Previously I had to go to Cambridge to get their stuff. It is, perhaps, my favorite chocolate. Intense, so a small box can easily last a week. I love the ether blue color and lines on this chair and am saddened to see it age.

Perfume. Sink.This perfume makes me smell lovely and happens to be from Capri. Where we got engaged. The sink is the other side of domestic life. Icky. And all my fault--if I would just spit 3 inches to the left.

Blood oranges. Holding on snow.I don't know if I am hungry for color, warmth or light in winter, but these blood oranges (which I'd forgotten I'd picked up) seem to help on all counts. The stubborn wee bits of snow annoy me.

Fading crocus bulb. Snowy day scene to represent February in this year's calendar.One of those beautiful/ugly days, I think. I knew I was anti-winter, but wow.

Green coat. Office clutter.I don't wear enough color, but this coat makes me happy. The office is (still) a huuuge mess.

Hyacinth bulb. 1970s kitchen floor.Spring will be here eventually. In the meantime, the smell of the bulb makes me smile.
