I love the cold of winter. I relish walking in its bracing air. I love gazing at fresh green carpets of verdant pastures.

Sometimes life slaps us around doesn't it? The well made plans we had of a perfect life may take a long detour to the edge of nowhere.

It was a warm summer's day. I hoped I'd enjoy some refreshing moments in our backyard before it was too hot to sit outdoors. But what a busy morning!
