Winter

The air is crisp and cold, frost coats the ground most mornings and snow is in the forecast are sure signs winter is here.

This morning we awoke to a light snowfall. As I looked out the window the snow added a peacefulness to my morning.

When snow crunches under my feet, I often think of a winter's night when I was growing up. We lived out of town on a hill. As the snow accumulated we'd test the road to see if we were able to start sledding. One evening, my dad parked his car at the top of the hill. The headlights from his car cast eerie shadows across the orchard. We'd slide down the road when we couldn't go any further dad would drive down and pick us up. We'd all pile into his blue station wagon then he'd drive us back up the hill for another turn.

The reason this is a special memory is my dad wasn't one to play games with us kids but that night he gave me a lasting memory. So this week whether we have snow or sunshine make a special memory for someone you love.
