These cold winter days cast an odd blue light on the world around me every afternoon. It makes things seem eerie and almost melancholy. It’s been such a strange, dry winter. Our snow is old, and crunchy. It won’t melt into spring and it won’t really own winter. Everything is barren and a bit boring. Yesterday, Carter asked me which season I loved more, summer or winter. Any other year, I would have said it’s a tie, but this year, I’d vote summer. I knew what he was getting at so I asked him, which of the two he loved most. He told me summer, because winter has been so boring. And I do feel for him and all my littles. What a dull month January is, when you’re shut inside the house because it’s so very cold, and there’s no new snow to play in. We do lot’s of projects and we stay busy, but my children are true backyardigans. They love to be outdoors and these dark afternoons and frigid days wear on us all. There’s only so much a cup of cocoa and a warm fire can do, so unless spring decides to come early, I’m going to pray hard for some fresh snow.
