I suppose it is fitting, given it is December 1.
I suppose I should feel grateful that it is so late in the season, and until now, I hadn’t yet seen a single snowflake. And I guess it looks pretty. I can appreciate that.
But man, oh man… where did summer go? It is unbelievable how time flies. I know we just had Thanksgiving, but it’s December? Whaaat? Really?
How?
In the land of four seasons, we have fall to prepare us for winter, but still, I have trouble coming to terms with the fact that it’s time for winter coats, gloves, boots, and snow shovels. Bitter winds, icy sidewalks, salty roads. Leafless trees, lifeless grass, gray skies.
The few hours of precious daylight afforded to us are spent inside offices, artificially lit by fluorescent lights. Perhaps what is most daunting is knowing that now that snow and cold are here, they are here to stay… all the way through March.
I can appreciate that.

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
I had to wear gloves and a scarf today. Boo.
I like the pictures you post of the snow. I like snow – but only for a day or two (which is about all we get here in the south).
Bundle up! :)
Looks so pretty! I wish we had snow – just a short-lived flurry the other day.
But I’m with you about December. How did it get here SO fast?!
Snow is pretty. We had a little dusting the day after Thanksgiving, but it has melted since then, You are right it just seems like I was just talking about wearing flipflops and I had to pull out a wool coat today. Snow is only good for one thing…..Christmas.
No really, get onto FedEx and get me some! I don’t understand how it’s colder here than where you are by a few degrees, but I have no snow and you have lots :(
