First Day of Snow
Barrie, On, Canada
Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Winter has always been synonamous with sleep. The world is muffled beneath a blanket of white. Outside is a still and cold silence broken by the warmth of lit houses where people cozy in with the people they care about. Hot chocolate, mittens, sweaters, rum cake and spiced egg nog. The year is being tucked into bed and its time to lay the past to rest. It's a period of grieving for the time lost, a period of reflection on the time had, and a period of gratitude for the time given. Life is always appreciated most during this season and I look forward to its awakening next spring.
