A winter sunset in Lancaster County, Pa.  What a gorgeous part of the state any time of year, but especially in winter.  The landscape is dotted with farms, silos, creeks, old barns, cows, horses, and winding country roads.  On my latest visit, I turned off the GPS and followed a horse and buggy onto a narrow road high above the countryside.  Lost in the photo opportunities before me, it was a beautiful way to end the day!

Yes, I am absolutely counting the days until Spring!  I can’t wait!  Birds singing, flowers blooming, a warm breeze, and driving with the sunroof open!  That’s what I call a perfect day!  It won’t be long….we just have to endure a few more snowstorms and some cold weather, but we can do it!  Just think of the cold and snowy weather as a temporary inconvenience!

I can’t help but think about all of the dogs and cats (and other animals, too!) that don’t have a home, food, shelter and someone to love and care for them!  It breaks my heart to think of them being outside in the cold and searching for food on their own.  Reach out and help your local animal shelters and rescues whenever possible so that they may continue their dedicated work in finding forever homes for the animals in their care.  Whenever I look at my two little cats, I think of them being outside in the cold of December searching for anything they could find to eat and a place to stay warm.  Thankfully, there were wonderful people who came to their rescue and helped their stories have a happy ending!
