Winter is not nearly in the air, but it's foreboding. It's hanging in the shadows waiting to rear its ugly head. Granted, we've got about two more months of Fall left, but with the recent weather in the Mitten, it's feeling like Winter is not too far behind. I know this jag of weather will pass, we'll see some sun shining days soon, with cooler temps of course, but nothing frigid. But, knowing that Winter is closer than ever brings one's spirits down. Being trapped inside, having to rush through icy air to the next warm place, bundling up to even go outside, it's quite disheartening. However, it's also the natural course of things around here.
Don't get me wrong. I love the beginning of Winter, the first snowfall, getting mesmerized by a snow storm, I look forward to white Christmases, maybe even a snowy New Year, but it's when we get into January, when there's nothing left to look forward to that Winter really drags one's soul down to the depths. It's depressing around here until roughly May. Though, experiencing the four seasons is quite exemplary, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
