Paul McCartney would tell you to open the door and let them in. I would advise you shut the door, lock it- heck- seal that puppy permanently until Spring if you must.
This is how my joke goes every year this time:
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"It's winter. Everybody down on the floor and nobody gets hurt... I mean it."
Ok- so not the best or funniest joke, but every year that dar gum season sneaks up on me and catches me off guard. Today was brrrrr cold. The first picture is what it really looked like outside. The second picture is how it really felt outside. Ok, not that cold, but you just know how I am when the temperature drops below 70.
I sat in front of the space heater for, oh I don't know, 7 hours today. Seems like it anyway.
Today was a good day. I had conferences in the morning (well, I didn't have any conferences, but I had to go into school anyway), and I played all afternoon. Got my allergy shot, did some shopping at the Thrift Store, etc... A good day. Today I actually stopped and looked around me. I drove through neighborhoods that I don't normally drive through. I looked at houses and their yards. I noticed the flowers, the trees, the essence of the community. It was so nice. The top picture is from my neighborhood. I never noticed the tree canopy that hangs over the street, and all the pretty leaves around. Sometimes I have to be reminded to stop and smell the roses, so to speak (sometimes literally).
A cold, restful night will begin soon. I'll probably sleep well.
