December has arrived. Our snow came and went and is, as of today, back again. Yes!
Last week looked oddly like springtime. It felt so strange to lose the snow so quickly. I didn't take photos then.
Here are some of the wintry photos I've taken in the past week or so when we did have snow. The forest walk that Meeko and I take once a day and occasionally twice is restorative for me. About 35 to 40 minutes surrounded by nature is a joy. Meeko bounds and leaps and then waits for his less rapid companion who is usually off taking a photo somewhere. We both revel in the sights and sounds of the forest, each other's company as well as occasional encounters with fellow nature lovers, both two-footed and four-footed.

| Airborne! 'Superdog' in his head and in my heart. :) |
 |
| If you look at all of the frozen water, you get a sense of why we can't walk here for three seasons. |
 |
| Wrap yourself up. It's getting cold. |
 |
| Autumn and winter. Soul mates. |
 |
| Love in the forest. |
 |
| Gorgeous spiky frost on the marsh. It reminded me of a feather boa. |
 |
| Touchdown after leaping over the log! |
 |
| Frost-tipped echinacea in my garden. (The only photo not from the forest.) |

My beautiful heart tree. When I was trying to find it again, I actually said
'Where is my heart' out loud and then 'There it is'. My heart. |
 |
| More leaf love. |
 |
| Is there such a thing as too much leaf love. I don't think so. |
We have lived in our house here for over fourteen years. I didn't know about this beautiful path, even though it is just at the foot of our street, until we had Meeko. I owe thanks to my furry friend for so many things.
