snow outside, this inside


and so much more.


Winter has been good to me.

Bundling up.
Snow-padded silence.
Kids with flyaway hair.
Well-timed cancellations.
Warming the kettle on the stove.
Saturday morning living room breakfasts by the space heater.
The value of every season, in life and in weather.
Shoveling that produces a good ache.
Beach anticipation.
Adventure walks.
Hunkering down.
