Circled the pond at Chapman today-a state park about ten miles from the house. A cross country skier had proceeded me in the new snow, but it is always a tranquil, beautiful park just a short drive from Warren. The pond is popular for fishing, swimming and kayaking in summer, as well as ice fishing and sledding on a groomed hill in winter. Most years there is a festival in January, with dog sled races etc, but Co-vid has canceled that for this season. Winter is Beth's favorite season, and despite my preference for warm weather, I am not blind to the beauty of a winter woods. In fact, hemlocks draped in a fresh snow offer me a humbling contrast to the muttering under my breath I do when I have to scrape the windshield almost every day.
