2 of my favorite things

Movies and spending time outside. Love this.

Paris in the fog

I've always loved the fog, when the air has volume, sounds are muffled and everything fades into white. I've been waiting to show pictures of our town (Paris, Ontario) when there are at least leaves on the trees, but spring has been slow to get here this year, so...
