Winter Quotes... Why is it so cold out there?? It's only November!


 Sunday is our day to go bike riding in the afternoon, but not today. It's -13 C out there?? I didn't think that we would see those temps until at least February!! If we were to go bike riding, it's going to be around the basement!!

It is also a good day to do a bit of de-cluttering. I have just found some boxes that have never been unpacked since we moved here four years ago.  I think that it is time to see what is in them and see what we can pass along!

Winter Quotes...
I think what it takes to succeed remains the same.  You have to have a real love of your sport to carry you through all the bad times, you still want to ski even when things aren't working.  You must have a commitment to work hard and to never give up.  -  Nancy Greene



I do not participate in any sport with ambulances at the bottom of the hill. - Erma Bombeck

"Hear! hear!" screamed the jay from a neighboring tree, where I had heard a tittering for some time, "winter has a concentrated and nutty kernel, if you know where to look for it."  ~Henry David Thoreau,

When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.
B. Cybrill

"A heavy snowfall disappears into the sea. What
silence!" Zen Proverb 

The great thing about snow is it makes your lawn look as good as your neighbors.

It's Time for a New Scent




*I was just thinking this morning that for some reason my perfume just isn't working for me. And then it occurred to me. I have been wearing the same scent all winter long and the spiciness worked. Now, not so much. It's just too heavy. I need something light and summery so I think that I feel a shopping trip coming on!!



*Smells are surer than sounds and sights to make heartstrings crack.
Rudyard Kipling

 I still remember the scent of the perfume that I was wearing when G and I met. It was called White Shoulders and I'm not even sure if still even exists! But every once in a while the scent will drift past me, so someone must still have a bottle!

Quotes About Spring Violets

Look at us, said the violets blooming at her feet, all last winter we slept in the seeming death but at the right time God awakened us, and here we are to comfort you.
Edward Payson Rod

Now I'm really looking forward to spring. At least the snow is melting away and it IS March! At least we are creeping closer to spring every day. That, I think I will be content with!
