you crack me up.. "imagine a time when i would be happy again". and "Dismal and grey like my soul.". i love your writing V. and the stones look as if they are dead dinosaurs, popping their heads out to watch you suffer.
Last winter the wife and I made it a point to do a bit of hiking in the winter. Neither of us are fans of the sticky humidity and endless sweats of warm weather hiking, especially in the Carolinas. Last winter, however, we had to lay one of our dogs to rest and the experience left us needing to be *anywhere other than the damn house.* We enjoyed the jaunts and it was a good reason to get to other parts of the area. Although, I was far more reluctant to attempt to ford or rock-hop across the many rivers that intersected some of the trails.
And the cat knew all along the smart move was to stay by the fire sipping catnip all day long...

A leopard cannot change its spots.
Keep cozy and warm VA!
Apparently not this leopard! :)
I hear you sister! I had to explain this to our local walking group when they asked why we weren't showing up every Saturday morning in the winter!
Do you think The Boyfriend will get you some thermals for Christmas, or just accept you for the cold-aphobe LA girl you are?
Thermals. He's an optimistic fellow.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog! I'm glad the hikes gave you some relief.
I so totally understand!!! I am glad that you got to warm up with the wine while people watching with the boyfriend 💕
