Evening Constitutional

The snow had stopped but there was still a little sleet spattering against the windows tonight when I set aside my book, banked the fire, and tied my boots on to take the dog out for a walk in the bluster. At six o'clock it was dark and the weather had almost everyone inside, and so we walked alone through the aroma of woodsmoke and apple muffins carried on the cold, our way lit by the reflection of jack o'lanterns and street lights in the shallow puddles on the sidewalks.

  1. Lovely post. I'm imagining it right now, as the temperature climbs outside. I've planned chili for dinner, but it will be nearly 80 when we eat. Just not the same ambience as a blustery day!
