Well, we got a white Christmas. I love them just as much as the next person. I would have preferred a “Candy Coating”, as Dick Goddard used to say. Thankfully, this was a light snow. The last storm we had, the snow was seriously wet and heavy. It only took me a few minutes to…

It really cheered me…

I went to the Big Creek Reservation of the Clevland MetroParks. It was the first time I’ve been to that particular park. There were ducks. All but one were mallards. And then there were Canada geese.
