On the evening of November 9th and into the wee hours of November 10th, it snowed here in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.
It wasn’t a lot of snow, maybe - 2 inches but the impact of those few inches was felt, loud and clear. Those whispering, angelic voices were mocking me, I knew it!
I could hear their calming, sweet voices whispering words of support and inner peace. “Rest…Be at peace…Time for reflection…Sleep well…”
But…I resisted shouting, “It’s too early for snow! I don’t have the new all weather tires on my car yet. I haven’t finished raking the leaves in the side yard. The lawn furniture is still outside. I haven’t cut back the perennial grasses yet. Oil prices are out of control! If it is cold this early in the season, I could run out of wood for the wood stove. Is anybody out there listening???” SIGH.
So…this morning, it was 20 degrees at 7:00am – a true sign that winter is here to stay. I guess I’ll have to get over my resistance, put the snow shovel by the front door, and prepare myself to “rest" and “be at peace.” DOUBLE SIGH.
I did get out and take a few pictures from my front porch – and I must admit it is beautiful. Isn’t it?
