In which winter takes a couple final breaths, and then relents…

In which I travel to Hanoi, Vietnam, and see my grandson for the first time…

In which I brave the bitter cold, and relish the sweet frosty light…

In which I brave the howling winter winds…

In which I find drama and warmth in the snow…

In which I venture into the frost, and the four stages of autumn…

In which I explore farms and beaches and back alleys, and contemplate the change in season…

In which we endure squalls, and enjoy paddling…

In which I revisit a farmhouse, enjoy the Canadian Shield in Ontario, and wander the city…

In which we bag pretty postcards, and explore new and old stomping grounds…
