Where’s Winter?
*
Sooner or later the landscape is going to look a little something like this. It’s inevitable. You can’t cheat Mother Nature for very long and we’ve been enjoying unseasonably mild temperatures for about three weeks. So you can bet that it’s all going to come to a screeching halt pretty soon and I’m not going to like it. It’s damp and dreary and even though the temps haven’t started to drop yet I know that when they do, it’s going to wreak havoc with my body.
I hate the thought that I’ve reached the age where I dislike winter. I used to go, “Huh?” when people said that, but now I understand. The extra clothes. The damp. The wet. The back-breaking work. The messy roads. I’m tired of it all and it’s hasn’t even started! The only good thing about winter (besides no bugs) is that I can hunker down inside and not feel too guilty about things that aren’t getting done outside. The gardens have been put to sleep and even the horses are getting a bit of a forced furlough. (For now)
Hopefully, we won’t get the amount of snow we got last winter. If we can just get a few more weeks under our belt before the flurries fly then I figure we’re about halfway to spring!
