Winter promises.

Winter's shawl wrapped tight as snow drifts through the air, landing with determination.

It is 9 degrees outside.

Finally, this is winter in Colorado. This is why leaves fall earlier than normal, color gone from the landscape and animals hibernating. This is why I have an enormous puffy coat collecting dust in the closet until today.

This is why man created the trainer. Four hours of fun.

We need this snow - to fill our reservoirs, to feed the land, to get me back to my grout project.
