In like a Lion
It’s been an old fashioned winter, to be sure. We haven’t had snow piling up in such a protracted way for seasons.
The good news is, the NorthEast is where the snow is, so feeling very happy for the ski and winter activity resorts. They’ve had a few bad years, so this may not make up for it, but will certainly help!
“In like a lion” seems apt, we’re expecting the second storm of the week tomorrow. But even so, there’s already a change in the air, a quickening towards spring, and also in the quality of the light.
Soon, in a matter of days, it will be time to “spring ahead” with daylight savings time. That’s a definite boost!
Meanwhile, I’ll be content ( which seems a little underrated in today’s world) to watch the snow fall, the wild turkeys forage in the yard, note the witch hazel in winter flower, and ruminate with my seed and bulb catalogs.
Meanwhile eat hearty, stay warm and drink a little Guinness for old St. Pat!
