A Walk in Winter: Washington Park

When it snows...it really does come down, you know.
What do you love about winter?
Is it the hot beverages or the snuggling?
Or is it the crisp feeling of the air blowing snow upon your head?
"Splish, splosh", say my boots drudging through the melting snow.
I'm looking forward to another cool burst of wind to knock me off my feet.
Brrrr, that is cold to the nose.
Hello Gloves! I am so thankful I didn't forget you today.
Why do you suppose the geese have not left yet?
I thought they had such a strict schedule...apparently not.
It is funny to watch them slide across the lake.
I smell...cold, ice.
When I inhale, my nostrils begin to freeze on the inside.
Thaw, now, thaw.
