I am a self proclaimed winter hater, but with each year I find it harder and harder to harbor that hatred as I grow older and find loveliness easier to detect. There is something I find so special about a freezing cold day following a fresh snow where the sky is bight blue and the sun is doubled in reflections off the snow. Today was one of those days and accompanied by my uniqlo heat tech, prescription sunglasses (we love seeing), extra warm mittens and a runny nose I took a walk in the sunshine for the first time in weeks.
The crunch of snow below my feet and the wonder of tiny tracks dotting the surface? Magical. I do not love the cold but getting to the top of a mountain in winter makes enduring the temperature so worth it.
