Sunny Winter Nature Walk
Today was actually warm enough to comfortably be outside! Not only were the temperatures bearable, but the sun was happily shining too! Can’t miss an opportunity like that for a nature walk. We focused on the beauty of details today. Here are some of the things we saw.
There were beautiful patterns of ice in the creek. In places the water was flowing under the ice making bubbly sounds.
The trees even in wintertime are covered in green lichen. Some of them have fabulous patterns.
There are places in piles of leaves where the ice is not melted, still sparkling in the sunlight.
And dried up fall wildflowers still stand tall holding on to their seeds until spring.
Here are a couple more photos I’d like to share with you.
Hannah surprised me today by drawing me a sweet picture on the whiteboard with a super sweet message. It reminded me of the springtime to come! Do you notice the “o” in MOM is a leaf? She definitely knows me well!
And one more…I don’t think that any animal can get as cozy as a cat! Ah, the life.
Yes, indeed, yesterday was grand. We did not get the pleasure of being out in the woods as you, but we enjoyed being out running errands. I kept thinking it must be warmer than the thermometer said. We had highs in the upper 30′s, which normally would be cool to me.And yes, a cat knows how to be completely comfortable. I would change places with my cat any day.

We’ve had rain off and on for the last few days and are waterlogged, no nature walks for us. Monday, we’re supposed to get more snow and I’m trying not to dread it
. I’m so glad you guys got to go out and enjoy the winter season. There really is a lot of beauty in the winter, just have to look a little harder to appreciate it. Stay warm!
Blessings, julie
