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.
