Festivities behind us, time to get serious.

we scraped snow off lines
kicked the ball through heavy flakes
played as if still kids

on outward journey

n.b. Today I made this clay model of a football I was given one Christmas. It was orange, as this will be painted, when dry. Something for my grandson?
