Hello Friends, It is a cold but beautiful winter's day here.
Once upon a time when my wife was not afflicted by a brain disease, on a beautiful sunny winter's day cold enough so the snow did not melt, we would take a ride. Through the farmlands and the hills look at the beautiful winter landscape. If a snow shower came upon us it would add to the magic. Seeing children riding their sleds down the hills, seeing wooly bully cows or horses with a blanket on. Sometimes we would stop at a place to eat lunch where they had a blazing fire in an old fireplace. The touch of smoke in the air stirred old memories when my family relied on wood-burning stoves. Then as we headed toward home the crystal blue sky began to take on the wonder of a sunset, where the horizon had gone gold and amber but the sky above was indigo; Then the stars twinkled like specs of silver in lapis lazuli.
Yes I miss those days a great deal
