It was dusk...

Though just barely five o'clock, it was nearly dark when we pulled into the parking lot at Three Creeks Metro Park. We took the Bluebell trail down by the confluence as the darkness crept in. Together we tramped through the woods, admiring the water birds and the frosting of snow. We saw dog prints and people prints and smiled. We knew we had not been the only ones to wander the woods today.

After about twenty minutes, we turned around and headed back, happily retracing our steps. Questions of what was for dinner began to be entertained and I shared my ideas on the subject as I spied the path to the parking lot at the top of the upcoming hill. Just then, as we marched through daylight's last moments, a deer bounded across our path. We smiled. We saw a four point buck last night at Blendon Woods. What a treat to see a beautiful doe this evening.

Day or evening...
summer or winter...

No matter where your adventure takes you...
even if my winter exploits make you shiver
and you firmly believe you'd rather stay at home...
Today and always,
I wish you only the very best...
Peace...
Joy...
Blessings...
