I am not a fan of winter.....but there are times when it is snowing out, and I know that all those I love are tucked safely inside that I can relax and almost enjoy it. Unfortunately that is not the case tonight. I am praying that the one who is still out in all this, makes it home safe and warm at some time soon, so I can actually sleep tonight. Storms and road conditions such as this, make me a wreck....and tonight's circumstances are one of the main reasons that I just donot look forward to winter, and can't wait for winter to be over.
“It snowed all week. Wheels and footsteps moved soundlessly on the street, as if the business of living continued secretly behind a pale but impenetrable curtain. In the falling quiet there was no sky or earth, only snow lifting in the wind, frosting the window glass, chilling the rooms, deadening and hushing the city. At all hours it was necessary to keep a lamp lighted, and Mrs. Miller lost track of the days: Friday was no different from Saturday and on Sunday she went to the grocery: closed, of course.”
~ Truman Capote
