waiting for spring

It's almost December.  It's too late in the year to hike.  I can't wait till Spring.  Hopefully I can catch the snowmelt at Starved Rock dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/parks/I&M/EAST/STARVE/PARK.HTM  Jordan and I got to see the snowmelt spring of 2010.  It was gorgeous.  The waterfalls were halfway melted, so there were columns of ice with water rushing down the middle.  It's truly a sight to go see.  But timing is everything.  Maybe I can distract myself for the next 4 months by writing about hiking and working on my novel.  lol.
