snowed-in saturdays

a mother packing snowballs with her small son;
four tiny girls in big cardboard boxes perched atop a snow-drift, about to slide down...
cars slowly putt-putting down the slushy highway, timidly turning;
my slippery shoes slap-slapping the pavement as i listen to korean lessons and swipe snowflakes from my face.

it's a lazy saturday morning; we awoke late to a wonju blizzard. most of january will be spent this way... a tumble between slow weekends and school-packed weeks, as we've both taken on an extra class in the mornings.

as a reward for doing the extra work, we're visiting both japan and china in february... until then, we're focusing on loving each other, painting, hanging out with our wonju buddies (two of whom are below -- jill and naomi) and enjoying our countrified city.
