Too Short
That all-too-brief taste of winter last week has left me wanting. It certainly isn’t all about me and what I want, but another 50°F day in February kind of made me sad yesterday, even as I luxuriated in an easy stroll down the driveway with the trash and recycle bins without wearing a coat.
I’m well aware of the break this offers to people who drive a lot or struggle to cope with cold and snow. I don’t begrudge the pleasure they must be feeling about the minimalist version of winter we are experiencing.
Scenes like these lasted too short for me…
I suppose if I would just pull out my bicycle and take advantage of the dry roads I might get over my mopey attitude.
I don’t know why, but I’m finding my mindset of longing for a more wintery winter is a difficult one to shift.

I was thinking the same thing as Steve, above. I’ve a feeling it may not be over yet!! 🙂
Meanwhile, it is almost the end of February, and it is the coldest I have ever seen!!

Maybe Cyndie coming down for a Florida visit will bring some of our warmth with her. She leaves tomorrow.

Yes!! I hope so 🙂 I can’t complain, as the sun has returned and my faith in calling it the Sunshine State has returned. Hope she has a wonderful time…and beautiful weather!!

Don’t worry John. We still have March and mother nature’s potential for madness.

True. Usually, I’ve had enough by then, but this year, a spring snowstorm will arrive to a whole new perspective from me.
