It's been almost 2 weeks since the New Year started
and we've had every kind of weather
the weather person can throw at us,
from
~~~ the obvious SNOW ~~~
"full on can't see 2 feet in front of you" stuff to
spitting squalls
blanketing the city
as we crossed the bridge to
RAIN
~~ oh yes the wet stuff ~~
moisture soaking your winter clothes to
sea mist rising along the shore's edge to
hard as cement ice surrounding our bench at the park to
frigid mornings letting us know that the air is so much colder than the water to
clouds emptying SNOW or RAIN at their whim to
trail after trail ready for trekking / snowshoeing / cross country skiing to
watching for winter surfers masked by the spray of the waves to
attempting road ice walking or scuffing whatever works to
waking up on a high hill to watch the barrage of waves pummel our beaches to
finally getting some protective PURPLE BOOTIES
because my toes started to freeze to
watching the hustle & bustle beauty in the heart of the city
caused by lower temps to
smelling the salt air
the crisp salt air to
hiding from the crisp salt air and Jim to
just knowing we can hop in our jalopy
and be at this spot in an instant
to refresh ourselves
and
just feel the wonder of our small spot on this planet.
