While it’s true that adults are expected to go into the office despite the winter weather, I decided to do something different—and take a snow day. I decided not to go into NYC to work, rested Moon PR on the shelf for the day, and accomplished quite a lot. I baked, walked the trails in town, took pictures, wrote a blog, planned my next vacation and even worked on my next bold adventure.
To make the most of my snow day, I headed to the water in both Fairfield and Southport, Connecticut to do one of my favorite things—take pictures. I am always amazed at how the snow looks, covering the coastline and piling delicately on top of the colorful boats.
Astonishingly, despite the single digit temperatures, I ran into a painter. I was excited to see someone so dedicated to their art, and happily introduced myself for a quick chat. His name is Keith Magner and he calls his outdoor work Plein Air.
There were several beautiful things about my snow day. I was able to be creative, which I believe is vital to everyone. I took some photos during a beautiful time of the year. I was also able to connect to someone in my community, who ended up emailing me an image of his painting from that day.
Winter can be a challenge for all of us, so I focus on truly enjoying it. Taking an adult snow day, focusing on your creativity, and getting out into your community is a good start. How would you spend your ideal snow day?
Oh, I do wish we lived closer. I would love to walk and photograph with you. Let’s make a play date, meet somewhere in between our towns in the spring. xo S
Thanks, Suzi! Yes, in the middle, can’t wait. Thanks for adding you voice to my blog.
A snow day is worth its weight in gold. I really love the third image a lot Nancy!
Thank you, Susan! Nothing like it, you are right. Those folks should take their boats out of the water 🙂
Nancy, your pictures are just beautiful. I’m so glad you carved out time for yourself to express your creativity. We are all the winners for that.
Appreciate the comment Karen! Yes, took a break and got outside in the snow, or to the beach in your case!
Sounds delicious! So nice to indulge in nature. Great blog!
