YESTERDAY MA NATURE SENT US A 1-inch REMINDER MEMO, re: what’s in our near future. The memo was short and sweet. Over by 1PM, no evidence left by 6PM.

IN DECADES PAST WINTER WAS FOR ME A PLAYGROUND… XC skiing, ice skating, luge competition (2 silver medals), and backcountry / wilderness backpacking in the high peaks. However, with more than 3/4 of a century under my belt, not so much anymore.
These days my favorite winter past time is a comfortable chair in front of a warm fire, a good book and an Irish coffee or a mug of warm apple cider with a cinnamon stick. Although, short hikes with a picture making device are still part of the program.
