no snow yet

we are sneaking up on the end the november, and we have no snow yet. they are predicting a mild winter were in the north because of el niño. for us, mild can be a mixed blessing. because if the temps are warmer than average, then their is more moisture in the air, which usually means more snow than average. so, it is either very cold with not so much snow, or mild with a lot of snow. some would call that being between a rock and a hard place. either one is fine with me. i mostly hibernate in winter, regardless. i use it as a time to rest, recharge, read, and catch up on unfinished projects. i enjoy the natural rhythm of the seasons, and am grateful that i have enough flexibility with my responsibilities that i can indulge each season as it comes. and now is the season for rest.
