West Michigan -This time of winter it’s easy to think about Florida and a warm breeze. I know it sounds good but I still hang onto the frosty morning and snow crunching under my feet. I went for a walk in the woods today. The sun was just bumping up behind the trees and last week’s snow has a thick crust on top so I can walk without sinking to my knees. Blackbirds are all heading north again, breaking out of their mid winter swarms, looking for a mate. Spring peepers will be out as soon as the ground thaws. I’m in no rush.
This winter has lacked luster but the down time has its own rewards. I’m not very motivated yet but I can hear the highway calling. I’ll make time for a nap this afternoon and then start checking air fares and road maps.
