Snow? WHAT'S that?? We've had such an unusually warm "spring-like" winter, that I've almost forgotten what snow and winter is :) I know that's a good thing for most people, but I'VE missed having -at least- some resemblance of the season. My evergreen garland and pinecones, cardinals and snowmen scattered throughout the house seem so out of place... and seem to bring less enjoyment than usual. The warmer darker colors, cozy quilts, and *wintertime* decorations and candles just don't seem to fit :( Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for another ice storm to hit- or to be buried in snow 12 ft. deep for 3 months! No, I don't enjoy driving on snow and ice and worrying about loved ones, I don't like high heating bills and hoping the electricity stays on, and I don't like getting out when it's so cold it hurts-just to go to the grocery!!! However, I DO enjoy the snowy wintery atmoshere -within reason- and I feel a little disappointed that there hasn't been any snow sleding, snow-angel making, snowman-building, snow cream making weather this season! :(
Yesterday we had a few flurries and a small little non-accumilating snow, turning in to rain and ice last night... but it was hardly worth counting. I was hoping to put on a big pot of chili (which I did) and snuggle up and drink some hot chocolate or hot tea while I *practice* a little more on my newly-learned knitting skills :) But it didn't really feel the same :( By this morning, the sun was shining brightly (which is beautiful!) and the birds were singing sweetly (which is lovely!) and there was not a trace of "yesterday's winter" left :( Oh well, I guess knitting coziness will have to wait for "next year" ... because I already have a yard full of Robins every day, a sure sign of *spring* Not all is lost-- I can look forward to seeing if my newly planted flowers will come back up that I planted last year :)
