Last night about midnight I was coming home. Although cold, the air was
perfectly still and the most recent snow had covered everything with a
frosty beauty. I looked up and a gauzy moon could be soon...everything was
just beautiful. It was totally *quiet*, too, something that is welcome in
this noisy Chicago neighborhood...

There have been times on such winter nights when I've gone out to Belmont
Harbor here to watch a full moon rise above frozen Lake Michigan, that's
magical.

Winter ain't for sissies but it sure can be loverly at times...

I like the change of the seasons, it makes life "interesting"...
