Thanks, Heather! Fortunately we missed the worst of the big blizzard that came up the East Coast this weekend. But it’s only January . . . Your climate sounds much more moderate! I just came back from a walk outside. It was good to get the fresh air, even as it is about -1° C here today. Good to hear from you, and I hope you are doing well, too.

Thanks, Pat. Hope you survived the big blizzard okay! Thinking of you . . .

To me it is almost unbelieveable that you can deal with what mother nature throws at you during your winters. We live in an oceanic climate where we sometimes may get down to -10°C during the winter, but that is usually a frost and we usually get a glorious sunny day, where the temperature may get up to 10°C. But then again in summer, as today our temperature may only get up to 15°C. Thinking of you Heather

I remember my snow suit, too, and also inserting my little daughters into theirs, like mobile sleeping bags. My very active younger daughter was determined to play in the snow before I could find snow boots small enough for her. So I wrapped her feet, over her little leather shoes, in plastic bags. Ready, set, go!
