ice and snow
I do know about ice and snow although where I grew up the winter was too cold to have slippery snow most of the time. I have slipped a couple of times but am so well padded I didn’t hurt myself.
It is very hard to say good bye to a pet but it is the mercy full thing to do. We had a cat and dog for many years. The cat was mostly mine and the dog my husbands. When the dog died the cat became my husbands. She seemed to know that he was grieving and just started sitting on his lap which she had never done before. The cat and dog grew up together and were very friendly although the cat would tease the poor dog and get away with it. He just put up with her. He was a lab.
I enjoyed the Knitting Club. The stories were sad but it was up-lifting the way they helped each other and were helped in the end.
