Today I woke up smiling thinking about a lovely evening walk in the snow that my daughter and I took last night. It wasn’t cold at all, just perfect and beautiful.

I live in an area where it is normal to get a lot of snow in the winter. Today I am grateful for the well maintained bike lanes. The bike lanes are like a beautiful spider web reaching all over town and surrounding villages. Most of them are maintained year round. This morning they plowed…
