I miss the leaves.
But the empty trees have a sort of graceful look.
The lake is frozen.
Not safely frozen though. Lightly.
Probably only an inch.
Wind chill is in the teens.
The kind of weather that hurts your face.
I miss eating outside under my umbrella and
looking at a moving lake.
BUT...there is the fact that a heated blanket is
a delicious thing and furry thick clothing is so cozy.
Heavy socks can be delightful.
I love those.
Stacks of blankets and new pillows replace
flowers in the garden
popping out of the ground for treats.
I'm ok with it.
