I'll state my Winter philosophies once again: If it is going to be cold, then let it snow AND if it is going to snow, let it be a lot!
I love everything about the first snow...Sounds are muffled; Hot tea waits for me after I finish the shoveling; Evergreens droop under the weight; Long walks seem short as it slowly falls from the sky.
But so far...it is brown...very brown...not that I mind brown...but when you're wanting it to snow...brown seems...well, it seems very brown.
Check back here after we get a ton of snow and I just spent four hours chipping ice or something fun like that. I'm sure that I'll gladly kiss the brown and write instead about how much I'm looking forward to the green of Spring.
Oh, and I've decided that I need to start using the semi-colon when I write. I'm not sure if I used it correctly, but use it I did and I'm darn proud of myself!

Posted by: Antipodeesse on January 10, 2007 02:08 AMYes! I love the snow. And use the semicolon. It just thinks its smarter that us; it's not. :)

Heather - Stupid semicolon!
Posted by: Bob on January 11, 2007 09:16 AMEh; I don't think you used it right. A; for effort though.

My thoughts exactly! I can't stand it when it is just cold... I say why is it cold.. there is no reason for it to be cold.. but when there is snow I don't mind it at all.
