A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT WINTER

THEODORE WIRTH PARKWAY

MINNEAPOLIS SKYLINE

A few days ago I was driving about Minneapolis, taking in the recent snowfall.  Having lived in the Midwest all my life, there are times when winter gets “a little old.”  And then there are times when I’m reminded of how beautiful it can be and what a time of reflection it is.  Here are a few photos of Minneapolis parks and trails, along with memorable winter quotes.

AND THE OCCUPATION IS. . .SKIING WITH THE DOG

            “Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation.”  (Sinclair Lewis)

            “Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat.”  (anonymous)

            “Hot coffee and cold winter mornings are two of the best soul mates who ever did find each other.”  (Terri Guillemets)
