Today’s 7 Days theme is BRIGHT. We have a window in our upstairs shower, luckily up high enough that no one can see in from outside. The sun is in the right position from late morning to mid-afternoon that taking a shower then is a very bright experience. It also means there are hundreds of tiny rainbows created in the spray from the shower, which is lovely.

Annalie has been super excited about the recent snow here. Here’s what she had to say about her photo, titled Day 2 – in the BRIGHT snow:

I love to play in the snow. It’s so fun! And me and my dad made a snow lady.

I’m posting this self-portrait I took with Annalie in the snow yesterday to remind Mamalang—and anyone else who needs reminding—that 7 Days starts tomorrow!
