"Winter is a wicked, haughty one,
she is. She gives us one last zinger
of cold weather full of snow, just
to say, 'I gotcha!' But then, the snow
melts and the world has water to feed
the rivers, the trees and all the people."
~Alice Sueltenfuss
Per usual, been having some naughty
thoughts. Has to do with waking up
to around 0 degrees with a tad more
snow on the ground. Okay, make that
10 inches one time and 13 the next.
I would think we'd all get tired of
hearing me bitch about the dark
months. But this morning, my dear
dear friend up North, mailed me the
above quote . . . her own! It's such a
positive way to look at both winter
time and her snows.
Methinks I'll be reading this every
a.m. at the break of day in order to
get on the positive train. Indeed,
the gift of water is priceless and I
am grateful.
I'm also well-pleased that our pipes
have only frozen up twice so far.
My guy insulates them by wrapping
them in some new fangled gift of
the gods and presses a button. Seems
to really help.
Living in a 135 year old cabin has
its deets, but I swear, he's sussed out
most of them.
So here's moi, getting an entirely new
outlook on these cold, snow packed
months. If I lapse, pray call me on it.
I'll have it coming; make no mistake!
Now, just get out the hot chocolate and
Bailey's . . .
