Winter It depends on where you are, what you have, and what makes you happy, but it’s the combination of those things that warmed up that white, blizzardy day for me this week when we each had the opportunity because of schedule changes and cancellations to stop and smell the roses … or the animals, be they furry, tame or wild.
For my son in the Ozarks, where he enjoys the sight of numerous cardinals in the fields and the larger wildlife in the forests that surround his home, and where there was no snow, he continued to watch a family of deer who themselves were simply enjoying life in his backyard.
For myself, it was watching the squirrel scurry up to my second floor deck, dig through snow to find the peanuts I had tossed out for him earlier, then take them to the garden table on the deck and sit on the bottom shelf to enjoy them.
And for my daughter who is enjoying retirement after many years of service to her country, and not straying far enough from home to see wildlife, it’s cuddling her newest pet in a blanket. That’s what you have to do when he has to follow nature even though the snow in Ocean County was higher than “chihuahua-high”
