Snowy Reminder

Posted on December 8, 2013 by marionpatterson

Pushing snow along the path.  Invigorating!  So fun to be back in the Laughing Labyrinth – to reflect, enjoy, anticipate. The wide shovel slid easily under the thin layer of fluffy snow. So, I got to look at the wild … Continue reading →
