spring? · 10 March 10
For perhaps the first time in my life I am truly ready for winter’s departure. Normally I’m too in love with winter to let her go. And what a winter this has been, I mean Lake Linda froze and we played hockey….HOCKEY! So here are a few things I’ll miss about winter:
the light, cold and clear, brilliant and chilling
snow
scarves
leather gloves
cold nights, fires, chili, coffee
feeling somewhat like some great adventurer just because I’m driving in a blizzard, honestly, when do you ever get to feel like Marco Polo?
Yet for all this I’m ready for spring. The warmth makes me feel like I’m shedding some sort of shell. Some sort of weight. I can take a breath.
Oh, and each warm day is one day closer to a bright green spring wedding…
