you take what comes your way

yes, i really did ask my husband  to hold a piece of black paper up to the outside of our car windshield at 7 AM on a cold november morning, as i sat in the driver’s seat and photographed the frost pattern, and our underdressed son shivered in the cold, waiting to get taken to school. sorry, son. when nature gives you a surreal woodcut pattern on the window of your prius, you take it. go put on a coat. i’m almost done.
