solstice

winter is the season i wish didn't happen. i see it as a difficulty and just want to shut the doors and turn up the heat and wait it out until spring. today is the first day of winter. yesterday on our walk along the old highway, i watched the dogs (and their friends). they were just happy to be out and moving. it didn't matter to them that it was cold. that the colour was gone. i want to be like them...
