Winter Warmth

I haven't yet mastered the art of walking in the snow in heels.  Snow seems to cling to my shoes to the point that it looks like I'm wearing fluffy marshmallow boot concealing the two frozen blocks of ice that used to be my feet.

I do enjoy the snow though and I am so glad that we've had as much of it this year as we have.  With February here, our chances of snow decrease exponentially, though I remember many Marches when our spring break was a snow covered stay-cation.

I love that even though it's just now a little past dawn our country road already has tracks on it.  It's quite a cozy feeling to know that this neighbor is off to work and this one has his fire going, and that one is out walking her dogs. 

Life in the country can be isolating, in fact it's part of the perks, but unlike anywhere else I've ever lived, this little hilltop feels more like a community.  We know each of our neighbors by name and stop and chat for a moment before we pass each other on the road.

And the winter feels all the warmer for such good neighbors and friends.
