I took another long route to work today. After a snow storm, I love to see the trees covered with thick snow, many streets only one side is plowed. This reminds me when I drove to work at 6pm. I had to move my car to the other side so the snow plow could clear the street. There was usually always a warning, a truck drives up ahead with flashing lights and honks to warn a few drivers to move their vehicle, otherwise they get a hefty ticket.
Today I was in awe at the parks and the trees. Of course I felt sorry for the cyclists because we have many avid winter cyclists who often have trouble finding their bike in the huge snow banks the snow plows created. Today it was wet heavy snow and the streets were slushy. My feet were soaken wet…guess my boots are not as waterproof as I thought.

foggy moon
cold keeps us indoors, but
I braved the cold
I braved the cold
with my new wool red hat
dodged the cold
dodged the cold
fearless stride with studded boots
got me home safely

He was only 13 months old and could barely walk in his stiff white winter boots. I took him out of his car seat. I placed him on the huge parking lot at his father’s garage, that was filled with virgin snow. He looked down and lifted one foot and saw his footprint in the snow; he froze with his baby blues widened, reflecting the light from the showroom. He then started tiptoeing so as not to mess up the white powdery carpet.
