It’s not yet Christmas but we all still have riches, if hope, nothing more. Hope it will warm up, hope if hearts are icy, they will warm, with hope.

And what a difference one day makes, the extreme cold warning now behind us, at least for the week ahead. Beyond icy roads and frozen toes, there the beauty lies, in sundogs and in snowflakes, the love in children’s eyes.

PS: And in the eyes of our pets!
