As we stood on the sidelines of the soccer field waiting for the boys to finish their skills, drills, and warm-ups, I looked over to the other side of the fence … and saw this small tree. 
There it was, in the middle of the frozen landscape, looking forlorn. I don’t know why, but I thought it looked a little sad. Maybe it had had enough of the cold winter, just like me.
I walked where I could, taking pictures through the holes in the fence.
It’s going to get warm soon, I tell myself …
A little bit of this and that ...
