A Season For All Things With a One Track Mind

Posted January 6th, 2009 by lrose

Greetings from Land’s End! Friday January 2nd. the wind calmed down. The sun shone brightly . Bill and Molly were glad to be outside. I also took my little Yorkie , Lucky, out for a walk. It was a beautiful winter day. Then in the night it warmed up and rained washing away the snow. The next day Saturday the temperature began its downward descent. The weather continues to flip flop between extremes of warm and cold here. With a return to fridged temperatures and high winds Bill is back in the house again. There is a season for all things and winter is the time to work inside where it is warm. If winter projects don’t get finished before Spring they are put off until the next year.

I felt the bed move and the lamp shade swayed. It was a frightfully exhilarating experience that I don’t care to repeat!
