The perils and ecstasy of walking on snow

Loss and gain
We lost my father-in-law, Jim, this weekend. Barry lost his dad. Our kids lost their dear grandpa. Our loss is heaven’s gain. I don’t have much inclination to write. It’s a quiet time. But I am reflecting on loss and … Continue reading

As some of you readers might remember–I got a little bored last week on the 74th of January. One tried & true way to combat winter blues and restlessness? A solo overnight getaway to the “big city”. I’ve been traveling … Continue reading
It’s January 74th and we got da heebie-jeebies!

Cozy snuggle beneath blankets on snowy blowy January afternoon
Outside wind gusts sideways white snow. Howls as it races around our little house in the woods. Our broken thermometer says it’s 20 degrees F, but we know it’s lower. Accuweather announces it’s 18 degrees but they never know either. … Continue reading
