Winter Is...

Today at Catch the Bug it's Friday Freebie again and there is this adorable image of Winter Birds - Skate.  For this I used a sentiment from TLC, Create.   When I was a kid, we used to skate during our recess after lunch which would never happen now due to safety concerns.  We had a blast and I used to skate with my children. I think that it would be helpful to have our youth do more play outside instead of all the inside computers and games.  Oh well, what do I know.
