Home in Winter

[bjarvis]

It was raining when I crawled out of bed this morning. With the exception of a teasing two minute flurry last week, I haven't seen snow on the ground since last December, and even then it only lasted two days before melting away.

This is what I miss:


Longtime friend Edward snapped this shot of Lake Timiskaming (New Liskeard, ON) earlier this month.

It isn't winter if the water is liquid.

I miss water, period. The last measurable rainfall was October 9.

I love New England. We have snow. We have water. We have mountains, forests, rocky beaches, sandy beaches, even a desert up in Maine. But the snow this year has been sparse. Which might not be a bad thing, since our much vaunted ability to drive in the snow has been seriously compromised by all the students in the area who have never seen snow before.

I still want to escape to Canada, though.

I don't miss the snow at all. I remember winters when there was some question whether carbon dioxide would remain in a non-solid state, never mind water. I like the idea of being able to forget my hat and gloves at home and surviving the experience. I guess I'm just a BAD Canadian (or maybe just a Vancouverite!).

Here's home in fall for me:
