A beautiful snowy day

I’m looking outside – it’s snowing.
Beautiful!
Children from up the street are walking their dog.
And playing with snowballs.

It looks like a painting – a winter painting coming alive in front of my eyes.
I grab the camera and go outside to take a picture.

When I come back inside both Flipper and Sunny are looking at me.
They want to go outside.
Especially Flipper. She starts her “pleading dance”.

She normally gets her way – but not this time.
No playing in the snow. Too cold for them.

I’ll take them for a car ride later.
(Actually Flipper loves car rides even more than walks.
So much so that I’m thinking she must’ve been born in a car : )

For now I’ll put them by the window.
They can watch the snowflakes dancing in the air.

On this thanks-giving-week I’m thinking of all I’m grateful for.
Family. Good friends. My two feathered trouble-makers : )

And I’m grateful to experience this beautiful, snowy day.

Mariana Fieraru, an Eastern European transplant, fell in love with her new home shortly after landing in New York. She "discovered" pizza! Years later she still loves pizza. And so do her two feathered-kids, Sunny and Flipper

Mariana worked on both, the east and the west coast.
Big or small, each project she worked on helped define the importance of gaining and sustaining a competitive edge in an increasingly complex business environment.

Business know-how, love of teaching and writing – all combined in 2006 to form OBI.
