The weather is winning...

Not too long ago....
We had this....

Now we have this...

and this


and this!

 
The weather here has been taking on a life and story all it's own.  It has reminded us that Mother Nature makes the rules, and she can be both beautiful and devastating, all at the same time. 
 
 
Winter has brought with it ice, extreme cold (think eyelashes freezing if your are not careful!), snow (snow and more snow!), crisp cold wind, grey everywhere you look and brilliant bright sun.  Winter has brought with it much mixed emotion, happiness, frustration, moodiness and a desire for it to all be over.  From a roaring, warm fire, settled in an arm chair, with piping hot coffee, and gazing lazily out the window, it looks, serene and magical.  Standing in the wind, waiting for the kiddies to come out of school, hat, gloves, extra gloves, long underwear, hood, boots and neck warmer firmly in place, while still losing feeling in your legs it is brutal. 
 
 
Here is to celebrating all that winter is and learning to love all that comes with it (or at least tolerate it!)
