A week of chilly walks beneath trees devoid of leaves.
But indoors, a lighted wreath provided a warm glow.
A week when the bike path mascot sported a mask;
his cohort, the wooden reindeer, sprouted holly antlers,
and our local swan family showcased their maturing brood.
A week when a recipe for Italian bread
became our new house loaf of choice,
and the quest for perfect pizza continued.
