We can start to get a little stir crazy. Maybe start to feel like there might never be a view out the window again that doesn't involve a white mass. Then when we look at our smart phones, we want to tell them they are just dumb because they are showing snow flakes for every day of the week these days... My daughter actually said, "Seriously, how much more snow can Mother Nature make?"
My guess? A lot more, so I am just not answering.
But let us not forget the wonders of the outside. It is still a good time to go out and explore, the snow filters the sounds, and makes it quieter, more possible to hear all the wonders that are out there. It is enough to remind us how amazing our world is if we just venture out of doors to greet it... without your snow shovel... leave that behind, because heaven knows, we have all bonded enough with them this winter.
Instead of seeing that huge mound of snow, look for that one red bird in that white tree... and be reminded that there is color out there. So break out those snowshoes, skis, and probably a face mask for the cold, and come on out to the trails, and do some tracking, listening, and get a deep breath of fresh air.
If you aren't willing to see anymore of the white stuff... take an adventure online to remind yourself how amazing nature can be and check out these amazing pictures HERE of the 15 craziest things in nature.
If you are reluctant to click there, let me give you a teaser....
Its better than the view out my window!
