Feeling lucky to be alive

Legally Brunette took advantage of the weather and went for a walk this afternoon:

... I passed by worker bees on their lunch breaks, school kids ice skating, tourists, students, and moms pushing strollers. Ice skating visitors were bundled in coats, scarves and hats, and a college-age girl was riding her bike in shorts and a t-shirt. Everyone else had stripped off layers to fall something in between. The pushcart vendors were out in full force. The wind blew the remaining fallen leaves in swirls around the grass and concrete park, the scent of honey roasted peanuts wafted through the air across the Common, and the warm sun felt heaven-sent. ...

Naturally, we could get some wintry mix later this week.
