sunny side

Rain yesterday on top of ice, snow; a bad combination. Road salt for sale in the stores. Our parking lot has a shaded side, and a sunny side. I try to part in the shaded side during the summer. Now I am shooting for the sunny side.
I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.
