Winter in my neck of the woods....is gorgeous if you can put on your grown up pants and face the monster. The monster is the subzero temperatures...with possible windchill and unknown possibly black ice lurking underneath whatever fluffy white snow you are traversing.
My City is chock full of paths, trails and trees and a fabulous waterfront whose bay has still not frozen over yet.
What our city lacks in intellectual hobbies .... it overcompensates for with public parks and trails. The amount of money that our city spends on maintaining all these trails and the attached parking lots next to these trails and public spaces must truly be shocking.
But hey, can you really have too many parks and trails? Can a city spend too much on trees and perennial gardens? I doubt it.
And so I look out my window at the possibilities and realize that if I am to truly enjoy this crisp weather that I simply must stop squealing and just invest in warmer pants, possibly even the legendary ugly puffy snow pants.
So, friends, what weather are you stuck in today? Sun...rain? Sleet or ice? Do tell.
Peace,
Carla
