Empty Beaches Signal the Winters Approach

You can bet it doesn’t look this way in the summer. You can only imagine all sorts of people sitting out enjoying the sun and the warmth, swimming, sun tanning, building sand castles. I can see the umbrellas and the footprints all over the beach. Winter and me or well this is late Fall I suppose have always had a love-hate relationship. I love Winter for the quiet it brings, the snow, warm sweaters, and hot cocoa. The shorter days, the bitter cold wind, cloudy skies, and spending too much time indoors are just a few of the things I hate it for. I trudge through it though, one day at a time.
