The Winter Snow Holiday Is Over

This morning at 4am the temperature was still above zero degrees, and the snow was not even falling let alone burying our world. Truly we have much to be grateful for. Here it is January 18 and this month has been more similiar to April or May! What a surprise to bounce out of bed at 10am this morning and see it pristine one more time! I was up at 4 this morning and back between the sheets by 5:45. I've become addicted to ear plugs. Plus I sleep with a towel on the pillow that I can drape over my eyes. It's like being in a cocoon.It's always a worthwhile, deep sleep though.

Don't you just love the fashion on this lady? Her outfit makes for an interesting image ... white on white. A visually symbiotic relationship, don't you think?Pretty is a word that applies fine. Fashion is an interesting concept. I think it has more effect on our world than some of us realise. Even for a person like me who was never really cognizant of fashion, unless it was skimpy or short, has become more interested in fashion. And I'm grateful for it. Any trip to a big city, usually Toronto, is made more interesting by the fashion that is usually at least two years ahead of the styles here in little old London, On. If nothing else for it's sheer entertainment value. I mean, when it's new and cutting edge it is noticed by most, I think.

Dogs always seem so happy in fresh snow ... there must be something about it that appeals to them.

So our world has changed, everybody will have to adjust their driving. Things always take longer to accomplish in the snow. Right now it is still "happy snow". It hasn't gotten dirty and slushy yet. It hasn't frozen into uneven ruts on the sidwalks yet. It hasn't become to inconvenient yet. If nothing else it makes for good photos. Unfortunately it's going to get messy when the temperature rises later this evening, but then it will be back to the spring weather.

All in all, happy for another good day.
