I’m looking forward to our usual weekend activities of long walks and dinners in front of a cozy fire.
Have a great weekend!
A couple of weeks ago, we had a light snow, followed by freezing temperatures. As I gazed out the window at the snow-covered back yard, sparks of frost crystals caught my eye. They blinked on and off against the blindingly white blanket of snow, the reverse of stars twinkling on a dark evening sky. There are rewards to New England winters.
