We went for a walk.
It was all brilliant blue and sun-glare off ice here, crunchy and slippery underfoot and full of the noise the tree limbs make when they rub together.
A squirrel scolded and blue jays (and an errant gull) flitted through the sky.
And we talked of many things - of how the big cherry-picker down the next bridge works, why the stop signs don't have 'excitement marks' on them, and how on earth the air can be so crisp and clean and full of possibilities.
Tonight it will rain and snow again, and we'll take down the Christmas tree, letting the living room breathe and seem huge and echoingly empty until we get used to the space again.

Wishing you and yours all good things in the new year.
You paint a pretty picture.
Happy New Year!
Oh, what a wonderful entry. Happy New Years to you and yours.
Yes, I like the image of getting used to the space again. And the feeling of the space of the new year, too.
ooh lovely. and you turn a pretty phrase.
What a nice calm picture you paint!
Happy Happy 2008.
That sounds lovely, I hope you get more beautiful bracing weather and less of the dirty snow and rain on the way to Spring you mentioned in your earlier post. Your blog looks absolutely fantastic, that header photograph took my breath away when I clicked on just now. Happy New Year!
How lovely that walk sounds. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead.
Can NOT imagine being in snow at the moment. Can NOT imagine it at all. Blazing heat here. The kind that makes you go nutso.
Sounds like a lovely walk. It always feels so bare when you take down the decorations until you get used to it again, you are so right.
All the best for 2008!
We started the year with a walk as well. We hand fed some chickadees. The brave ones will land on your open palm for a peanut.
Happy New Year!
It sounds quite lovely.
So glad all our Christmas is coming down today. We were out of town and so no "elves" came by to clean and organize while we were gone. I'm ready for things to go back to normal.
