It's winter. Again.
Oct. 3rd, 2009 06:10 pmWell, to be truthful, I did see it coming.
It's snowing.
It's snowing and the world is not a sparkling winter wonderland, but instead a dreary gray city sky, chilly and cold. The wind has decided to be biting and the sun is hiding, and I suppose Mr. Winter has arrived.
You know, we always see it coming; we just ignore the signs and hope that summer will last just a bit longer. Near the end of August, it rains--a dank, cold rain--but we shrug it off as a spell of rain, not the end of summer. And then you head out in the mornings to a frost-furred landscape, and think, "Oh, it's only September--it won't be snow for another bit." And then after that, you glance out the window, and the white flakes are falling.
It's cold. I envy the people who are still enjoying autumn, where fall is actually 3 months. You don't know what you've got...
