Rivers are popping out of their banks like gushing bottles of over-exuberant champagne. Get out and enjoy one near you today! If you’re feeling cooped up on a cold and wet day, I can hardly think of anything better than slipping on a pair of rubber boots and marveling at all the high water. This afternoon it was about 34 and rainy. While we were out the temperature dropped a degree or so, and it changed over to snow. Magical.
Rather than watch a movie, my son got to use his new Bogs boots for what they were meant for. We enjoyed about a mile-long stroll alongside a little creek that cuts a nice gorge only a mile from our house, completely surrounded by the city of Duluth. Opportunities for risk assessment abounded. As did conversation about the consequences of poor choices…
When you’re out in the elements, appropriately dressed, you quickly realize that you can handle all kinds of elements. Cold and stormy days are often the most fun. It’s a good lesson for a kid to learn. Cheers!
