Tag – The Garden
The winter snow is covering the ground in thick dirty layers. It seems everywhere you go people are waiting for the snow to melt and spring to arrive.

He slipped on his hiking boots, slipped his keys and wallet into his knapsack, and marched out of the house.
The early morning fog clung to him like a damp second skin. He was determined that the weather wouldn’t stop him.
