Tis only December. Local folks say this is a mild winter. That it will continue mild. So far, it has been very pretty. Especially in the confines of this apartment complex. I don't have to shovel. I already pay for it. That is a very good thing.
Before snowplows, folks spent hours removing the white stuff. Tales are told that people would wake up at 3 a.m. just to keep up with the powder. So they could get to work, so they could get out. That would continue with whoever was in the house all day. It wasn't an easy life. People did find romance with the unique snow flakes. No two are the same. Nature is like that.
I had planned to go fabric shopping in Massachusetts today. Some forty-five minutes south to a shop I like. That may have to wait until the following week. I am learning to go with the flow in north country.
I am told the warmth begins in May. MAY???!! My southern sensitivities will have to adjust. Soon. My thoughts turn to finding a warmer winter climate. Three months should do it.
But until then, being outside in a snowfall makes me laugh. Such joy!
