This week in Ciechanów was briskly cold. Most days were cloudy, with the sky looking pale and gray. A few days brought white snow that made the town feel pretty and bright. The air was sharp and chilly, especially in the mornings, and my breath made little clouds when I walked outside. The days when the sun came out were cause for celebration, as this seems to be a rare occurrence in the winter.
I saw many small birds hopping around the sidewalks and trees. They flew around a lot as if they were moving to try to stay warm. I also saw a few neighborhood dogs on walks with their owners, and they were bundled up just like people.
