winter days soon gone

While everyone else has been cursing it, I still love this winter. But I get it: the relentless snow and cold, people shuffling carefully on icy sidewalks, chapped lips, layers, layers, and layers of clothing and forgetting you have a body under there, slush and hardened crusts of old dirty snow covering everything. I just haven't had a winter in 6 years so I am still holding on. Next year, I am sure I will be singing the same tune as everyone else.

This weekend the sun came out and everything started to melt into urban slushy soup. Maybe spring is soon here? I feel a little disappointed.

I know NZ is the opposite now; humid, sticky, too hot. Its hard to imagine from all the way over here but I will say it anyway: Keep cool everyone.

You keep warm Kimberlee and enjoy the last of the slushy snow. The cicadas are going crazy outside here and the figs are nice and ripe. Yum.

It looks beautiful to me but yes, the suns still shining and everything is green outside my window :)
