I haven’t been outside in 3 days. The last time I was outside I saw three Robins, a Chickadee and a Woodpecker. sounds like the beginning of a bad joke! The amount of snow we have gotten is crazy! I mean it is winter. The birds were a blessing, a promise of Spring. My oldest messages me with the new sunset times. She knows I need to hear it.
My friend reminded me how fast February goes! I know it will, not sure if this snow will too! The fact is, I am at peace with the weather. My internal clock feels a difference. For me, that is important. February was always our get out of winter month, but sadly not currently with all the restrictions. I have set that aside for now as well.
Time to go back to basics and embrace winter! Wintery walks are in! I will slap on some snow shoes and get out there. Snow forts, snowman are fun. I don’t have a sled, skis or skates anymore. Not about to take up downhill at this point! Wouldn’t mind a wintery lodge with a big fireplace to go to! Wouldn’t mind trying ice fishing, or maybe a day trip to see some ice formations!
I am not a fan of travelling on crappy roads. I don’t like extreme minus weather. Snow is beautiful! I do have my limits. I like being a spectator of winter things, Hockey, Olympic winter sports! I will make a promise to myself to make an effort this season! Maybe it will go by even quicker!
