Moonlit Canyon

When in doubt about the weather, just try to enjoy it and really, look at it in a different way. I have several friends who expressed a desire for spring. I thought, why? If you dress warm enough, it's wonderful to get out in the snow and see things that most people normally avoid. My husband got me out of my couch potato attitude when we first married with a walk in a snow storm after dark. When I start thinking about the attributes of a warm home with a cup of hot beverage, I remember the wonder of that night with the cow & horse stampede, the warm breath of the draft horses checking us out, the snowflakes sparkling in the streetlights, the laughter we shared.
