Fort Wayne, Indiana: a city built on three rivers, right? Quick quiz: can you name those rivers? You can find them listed at the end of this post.

"I read, much of the night, and go south in Winter." - T.S. Eliot

While Mr. Eliot had the luxury of going south in Winter, not all of us are able. But, I have decided after the better part of 40 years living in a cold place, I will stop fighting the natural flow of the seasons (and wishing I was some place warm), and try to find beauty in the cold and the snow.

So, I admit my belt is the teeniest bit tighter than it was before the holidays. That's the hard part.

The easy part was making a trip to Fox Island County Park in southwest Allen County to take care of the problem.
