Snow & Melting

I’ve shoveled more than my usual share of snow and I hear more is coming at week’s end.  It’s beautiful and the dogs love it. One swims through and one hops like a rabbit. They are extra tired after 20 minutes outside. Three weeks ago I saw daffodil blades now buried under four foot snow piles. They’ll be fine. Daffodils are always fine. I’d like it more had I no need to leave the house.  As it is I’ve knitted 26 cotton dishrags, putting me as far ahead on Christmas gifts as I ever hope to be.  I’ve all but given up exercise. I go to work, stop by the store and come back home again. I spend as much  time in pajamas as in street clothes. Take the flannel sheets off to wash and put them right back on again.  

The days will be long again soon enough with all the weeding and the watering therein. Summer is my favorite but I don’t despair the winter. It’s warmer in its own way and I like the cozy of it all.  

Today’s main forecast is melting snow. Sandbags being given out in Ellettsville for the coming flood. Always an adventure. I pray the day is kind to you.
