This winter has been a challenge. Not only with everything that is going on in the world but also with the weather…I live in New England and we expect and accept cold, rain, snow, and wind but not every week. It is a winter when boots are much more popular than shoes. Where shovels and snowblowers are flipping snow like pancakes. And if it isn’t snowing the wind is blowing anything that isn’t nailed down, flying. You might find your trash barrel two streets over if you are lucky. And after a while you could no longer say in earnest we are tough, we are rooted in New England weather. It became hard and long and it’s just the first of March with many more winter days to endure.
