Today being the last day of winter and of course it is raining, cold, and dark; I wanted to say that although it was long and we got a ton of snow, winter gets a bad rap. This winter I tried to embrace the snow with some positivity, although difficult when shoveling my entire driveway, I feel that I was somewhat successful. I actually bought a pair of skis, well they were kind of a gift, took a ski vacation up north, AND enjoyed skiing. I am not close to calling myself a good skier, but I can say that I made it down some pretty hard trails without falling and not fearing for my life. I also made it to NYC to see the tree and watch a Broadway play. I lit and enjoyed a fire in my fireplace without burning the house down. All in all I think I had a pretty good winter.

On the other hand, I am sooo ready to say good bye to winter. Yesterday the weather was much more spring like and I was able to take advantage with a walk to Rome Point. It is a great place to take a dog to the beach, apparently see seals (I didn't yesterday), and catch starfish (once found 6). If nothing else it is a symbolic time for growth and new beginnings and one step closer to the short New England summer.
