Greetings from chilly NYC.
Today is December 22, the Winter Solstice, the first official day of Winter in the northern hemisphere.
Signs of Winter are everywhere. Aside from heavy coats, hats and scarves, an obvious sign of Winter is all of the bare trees. Here is a photo of 59th Street taken from our apartment. While we miss the leaves--whether green or gold, we look on the bright side and consider the benefits of bare trees. One plus is less shade, a benefit this time of year. Another plus is being able to see more of the city. NYC is filled with wonderful architecture in every block. With Winter's arrival, we are able to appreciate more of the city's architecture.
Another benefit of Winter's arrival is sipping hot cider with cinnamon--a great way to warm up after a brisk walk outdoors. Cheers!
P.S. Mother Nature has a mind of her own. Unseasonably warm weather this year makes Winter in NYC seem more like Winter in Orlando. By Thursday, December 24, the temperature is forecasted to be above 70 degrees. "Let's go to Coney Island for Christmas Eve!"
