If there is one nice thing about winter, its taking a little walk after a snowstorm and seeing all the freshly fallen snow. I took Whiskey to the park yesterday and it was blindingly white, but also incredibly quiet and serene.
In the summer, this place is packed with people picnicking all day, but right now its quiet and empty. The only evidence of anyone coming through here is the tracks that go from the sidewalks over to the little hill that kids like to toboggan down.
All this grey and white winter weather can also make it easy to get a little down. While picking up groceries, I grabbed a $10 bouquet of flowers to add some colour to the apartment. Its amazing what a pick-me-up fresh flowers can be. Even Whiskey likes to stick his nose in and smell them.
I’m hoping to keep this tradition up for the next few months until the flowers in the garden are ready for clipping. Spending $5-10 a month on a small bouquet or a little houseplant isn’t much, but its worth it to come home to it every day.
