The Sunshine of Torch Lake

All summer long…

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA

we bake in the sun & warm air.

Then winter comes…

  • We watch the snow fall down & the drifts pile up.
  • We bundle up against the temperatures falling down.
  • We build snow forts & snow men.
  • We drink endless cups of hot tea, & hot cocoa, & hot toddies.
  • We watch the skies turn gray & the roads turn gray, & then we watch everything turn grayer.

But every once in a while our lovely sun comes out, the winds still & the skies turn blue blue…
