Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't seem to need my permission to spit the stupid white flakes from the sky anymore. Because it TOTALLY did before. It is, indeed, snowing here in the cold place of New Hampshire, and while there is not nearly as much as last year it does just keep coming. Now, i have promised myself to be cheerful about the snow and the winter. That Kate coming home and a new show starting were signs of a good winter and new year. I'm trying to uphold that idea desperatly. I am going out when i can, spending time with Kate and Kevin and Maddie, drinking hot chocolate and soup and making grilled cheese. These are truely winter occupations, right? Who ever heard of coaco in July? But there are only so many cups of hot chocolate, only so many grilled cheese sandwhiches. And with Christmas over and my glow-in-the-dark stars up, i'm not really sure what to do with myself. Any ideas?

Use your new sewing machine?

Get your friends together and go snow-tubing?

Sleep. There's always blessed sleep.

My "I love summer" attitude fizzled in the heat of July. You're doing better than I did.

This is hard for me to believe, dear Cecilia, when I am sweating down here in Mexico! I wouldn't mind if you'd send me a little bit of that white stuff. Share, share! I do remember that February, even in Ohio, seemed endless. Some good board games and more hot chocolate are the only answer other than pure hibernation, I'm afraid.

sleep is always nice, i am trying really really really hard here. i don't think you can even imagine. i've given up on loving winter i'm just trying to be mildly cheerful through it. and Lois? please, take it all. including the six inches of new white stuff that is ruining my plans and putting people's lives in danger. please, take it all. as much as you want.
I'm reminding myself, I LOVE WINTER. (or can tolorate it.)
