Winter is here - the silence that comes with a healthy snow fall is something to enjoy

BURLINGTON, ON

Another lock down begins.

Another month of limitations on what we can do and who we can be with.

The only nice thing about Christmas Day and the realization that we have a difficult time ahead of us is the snow – there is something in the Canadian psyche and our DNA that welcomes snow.

The flower pots lost their colour weeks ago – now they collect snow.

The silence the snow brings; the trees that are covered in the stuff; watching kids playing in it, and for those who enjoy  getting out on cross-country skis, the joy of winter is experienced again.

City hall reports that the streets have been cleared.

Still a day of pure holiday left. Enjoy.
