Brrrrrrrrrr

We tasted winter this morning.

Our breathing left little con-trails along the street as two dogs and two walkers headed east into a deep grey, blue and mauve sunrise.

We were late enough starting that most of the neighborhood dogs had been let out and barked as we walked along.

The park was empty. All intelligent creatures were home - hunkered down against the cold.

But then the neighborhood began to wake as cars started and zoomed and running man (thoroughly bundled) headed past us down the hill.
