The last couple of days and nights the temperatures have been hovering around the 30s. The hard frost is now in the ground. Gloves, long johns, ear warmers, wool socks and fleece sweaters are now required gear to hike in. Winter is here. I don't dread it like other people seem to. If you dress properly, you are never cold. I enjoy seeing the earth sleep for the next few months. I can see the trees more clearly. Their shapes and bark now exposed, each more beautiful then the next. Because there is less to see, hikes are now spent deep in thought, a wonderful time to meditate.
