Mary Jo Burke | A Plan for Next Year

Since Spring is about month away, it’s time to start planning for next winter. Although March has every known weather occurrence and some inventive combinations, I do remember thunder snow. I love winter, but this one is testing me. It’s brought too much Arctic air, but I do like snow.

Spring is a time of rebirth. Flowers, trees and plants are back bringing all their greenery, plus pollen, ragweed, and all my other allergy agents. Winter is cold, dark and wonderfully still. January is fifty percent of the year. It drags along, where February is a blink of time. A quick breather before everyone schedules well into December.

It’s time to treat winter the way it makes me feel: the dwarf I can relate to, sleepy. Grab a pillow, a blanket, and curl up.

 Bears have winter figured out.  Hibernation is looking better every day, put on an extra hundred pounds, find a comfy cave, pack a massive TBR pile, and snooze for a few months. I’m in.
