Winter SchminterLet's Get Out and Play

OOOH Baby it’s cold outside! The beginning of a new year always makes me think of the festive winter scenes of Currier and Ives prints and hot cocoa. It’s too bad that more of us don’t have more time to enjoy the outdoors the way people did more than a century ago. Winter is a time for fun outdoor activities. We needn't hide inside, especially while memories of holiday goodies linger on our taste buds and around our waistlines. Winter offers a new perspective on Connecticut’s landscape for those who venture out. If you are not sure where to begin, take a look at the event offerings for this month. Guided bird walks, owl prowls, and more are fun for young and not-quite-so-young alike. Take advantage of snowy conditions and try cross-county skiing or snow-shoeing on one of the state’s many trails. Join the kids on a hunt for animal tracks and other signs of winter visitors. Grab the camera and capture some of the season’s icy beauty. Remember, this is New England. Before we know it, we will be complaining about the heat and humidity. There is no time like the present to get started on those New Year’s resolutions to drop a few pounds, and use less carbon and more footprints.
