This year, winter didn’t seem to be coming. Days in November always seemed to creep back above 0 degrees Celsius. Anything above zero was a blessing.
Then the thermometer plunged. With the wind chill we were down to -30 degrees. A bit of snow fell and the ground became rock solid.
Psychologically I’m still back at least a month. Stuck in October and November.
The Carol Festival seemed that way a well. Not as many as usually attend — I’m not sure we can believe we are into the Christmas season. Even the stores seemed to be empty this weekend.
So, here I am, figuring I have holidays after Christmas — months away!! But, quite literally I begin holidays in 3 weeks!
Time flies — some years faster than others.
And now they are telling us this will be a long winter. I imagine when I get to July, I’ll still be thinking snow might fall!
