Winter Woeful Land

I really don’t care for the snow. It covers everything. All the beautiful trees, flowers and their brilliant colors covered by the white powder. Then, in a few days it all turns brown and gross. Where is the beauty in that? Skiing is also one of my least favorite things to even think about and trying to walk through snow is such a work out. It’s even worse when you step and it pulls off your boot. It causes all sorts of trouble for traveling too. Snow keeps families apart at Christmas and makes a trip to the grocery store a three-hour traffic jam. It makes your nose get all red and your fingers feel like they could just break off and never grow back. It gets caught in your hair when you walk and you can feel it slowly melt and trickle onto your scalp and down your neck. The snow freezes me from the outside in. And it doesn’t matter how much tea, cider or hot chocolate I drink, I can’t get warm ‘til mid Spring.
