Snow is snowy when it’s snowing
I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going
from Winter Morning Poem by Ogden Nash

Husband and I took a walk this afternoon through Scratch Ankle. We should have done this earlier when the sun was out, he said. But we couldn’t see then, it was too bright, I said. And we’da got hot, he said.

But now my face was cold, nose running, and fingers tingling in the hand that wasn’t being held.

Don’t walk so fast, he said. But we need to get our heart rate up, I said. You’ll fall down, he said.  But we know these people in this house….. and those across the road, too, I said.  That means we need to choose where we fall so we’ll be helped by someone whom we like.

Later, we were just past the Manor where the road was solid, crunchy snow and pine trees on one side.  This is nice, I said. Let’s stay here.  Walk in place?,  he said.

The way to make good hot chocolate great is a tidge of cinnamon.  And to make truly wonderful hot chocolate, stir in a blob of real whipped cream.
