We are fortunate to live in an area that many come to see on their vacations. Meaning that we enjoy a beautiful part of the world every day. Being familiar like that though frequently means that we take if for granted and don’t pay attention like we should. One of the benefits of this year of limited travel for us has been visiting some of the local sights.
One of the pleasures of living in a forested state is that many in our area heat with wood. We use about 4 cords each winter that is put into the garage during the summer and early fall. This most recent stretch of colder weather has all of us using our woodstoves to keep our houses warm and keep the winter cheer going.
Today is a perfect winter day. Yes it is cold but the air is crystal clear and the sky without a cloud is a perfect blue. Yes there is snow. Not a lot mind you but enough to complete the scene. We have not had any big storms this winter rather a succession of small ones leaving a few inches at a time. I am guessing that by the end of the week snowshoes will begin to make sense.
