beautiful, I'm coming back to this, when crepes aren't calling me. i felt this way on my road trip. i love country roads. (ok most of it was 85 but the country road part, awesome)
at dinner we talked about that beautiful mental landscape, where we'd like to be 'stuck' in our minds. why not get stuck on the beauty? I'll be back to this - let me know where you got the snowflakey border.
