It Could Be Worse...
I've been whining rather incessantly the last couple of weeks about our early winter weather, with 6 inches of snow on the ground, and according to WGN weather out of Chicago, it is predicted that the first 9 days of December will be the coldest in the 135 years that records of such things have been kept. Last night as the snow came down, I cruised the internet, looking at other garden blogs, and ran across two that were from areas with longer, colder winters than us (no mean feat)! One was in Alaska, and one in northern Ontario. In looking over their archives, both northern garden blogs stopped talking about gardening about October 1st of last year, and went into long winter funks with nothing posted for weeks, then the occasional post about something they were knitting and whatnot. Both of them also then went completely inactive after this summer; I guess they couldn't face sharing another long winter. It's only 17 here in the middle of the afternoon, but the sun is shining, the bluejays are calling, and it seems downright balmy.

I was surprised in reviewing last year's entries that we had snow then for Thanksgiving.
My memory tells me that snow on that day is rare for the outlying Detroit area, but two years running we've had some.
Memory a strange thing.
And SAD is a sad thing to live with. I'm on meds and upp'd them this year for the winter. Really seems to have made a difference, for me.
I need to post about my indoor plants, and how much joy they give me in winter... need to share that, don't I?
