The woods around me are quiet as Winter takes hold. A Nor’easter is forecast for the weekend - our first prospect at real and significant snow in nearly two years - and I continue to wait for word of when my hip replacement surgery will be scheduled. Without the hip, mobility is a challenge for me. I miss the ability to walk at all, but especially to walk outside in the Winter woods. Without a surgery date on the horizon, I don’t think that February will find me able to make the solitary Winter walks I used to enjoy. I have great hopes for March forays into the trees. For now, the backyard dogwood branches remind me that even in Winter’s cold, Mother Nature is making plans.
