Pretending There's No Snow

It's snowy and bitter cold here . . . and almost everywhere I turn in the blogworld, from Boone to Cullowhee to Missouri, from Ireland to Normandy to Vienna, from Turkey to England, snow is the hot (?) topic.

I'm ready to remind myself that it's not permanent . . . there will be Spring.

So I'm enjoying glimpses of warm days and fragrant flowers . . .

. . . telling myself how much more appreciative of the profligate beauties of Spring and Summer I'll be . . . after this cold, cold Winter.
