The Winter Solstice is today...so we begin the season of winter just as the amount of daylight begins to increase again. Here in Buffalo, we have four seasons, and it is best to enjoy them all. Winter provides us with a time to play in the cold and relax in the warmth, by a fire, with a book (or a blog), and a glass of wine (or ale, or cider or tea). There is plenty to do indoors and out year-round, but winter does provide an excuse for just lounging for a while and enjoying the snow from the inside. Be sure to enjoy the muffled silence of a snowfall by just standing and listening as the large white flakes coat your hat and shoulders. Listen for a distant train whistle, church bell, or snowplow. Then listen to the snow hit your coat. Enjoy the closeness the snow brings.
Bon Hiver!
