SNOW

SUN 18 DEC 2011 11:41am In a word, snow. There was a touch yesterday but today is the whole white world configuration.  It's about time actually, being the middle of December. A calm has settled over the world and thoughts turn to long winter naps, reading by the fire, walking through the fields with a red tingling nose. I've said many times that I, for one, am glad to have seasons. People in temperate or hot climates don't know what they're missing. I love throwing on layers of clothing and stepping out into the brisk wind. But then I'm just as happy to see the warm weather come and step out with hardly any clothes on. The extremes incite the pleasures.
