now this is a REAL winter with REAL snow... oh how i would love to be bundled up with diane, the kids, and dogs walking in this park... experiencing the silence of it snowing, hearing the crunching of snow under our feet, and feeling the cold on our faces... i can almost SMELL the fresh cold winter air... talking about past memories.... watching the kids go running and playing in the snow piles...the dogs biting at the snowflakes as they fall... frolicking and rolling in the snow... all the while looking forward to when we get home to a nice warm fire, with the smell of a crockpot of stew filling the air and fresh bread baking in the oven..... then after we've eaten, curling up together animals and all, to watch a movie as we snuggle under soft plushy quilts and sip hot chocolate with melted marshmallows.... ah yes, that is my warm thought for the day.... how i wish it could be.... oh how i wish it could be.
