Winter Bike Ride

In spite of the bitterly cold morning, I rode my bike to work today.  And I don't regret it one bit.  (OK, maybe a smidge, it did take about 10 minutes for my fingers to thaw out.)  However, the ride was just gorgeous.  The path I take follows a stream, passes by two lakes and I had it all to myself.  The stream just sparkled in the early morning light.   You could see all through the woods because the trees are bare, except for the little beeches that hold onto their coppery leaves till spring.   The only sounds were the small rustlings of birds and squirrels.   I'll be back on that path tomorrow morning.  (With my heavy-duty gloves this time.)  :)
