The Garden Path

What to do when it snows in New England?  I say explore nature.  Gardens and paths are amazingly beautiful during the winter which is why (year after year) I look forward to the adventure.  Aside from the bitter cold wind and the occasional slip and fall ( and YES I slip and fall regularly)  I must say this is a great winter pastime.
