Celebrating Winter

I love my little town of Tecumseh. Why sit around and sulk about the cold? I love that we have the Ice Sculpture Festival. I love that the City built a rink in Adams Park. I love that somebody sculpted this leaping fish. It’s my favorite piece. I’m a flyfisher. I spend my winters tying flies in anticipation of the first Spring hatch. But I cant tie flies all winter long. I need to get outside and enjoy the crisp cold air. Snow is not always available for skiing so I have to mix it up….ski a little, bird a little, hike a little. There’s always something to do. After a cold day walking around downtown yesterday I opened up a bottle of “Fireside”. It’s a mulled Cabernet Franc made by Pentamere Winery here in Tecumseh and it’s delicious. Wine and cold weather go together nicely in my opinion. The festival continues today with a celebration of chocolate. So I’ll be downtown again today….with long johns on, carhardts, and warm gloves.
