Boil, Boil

While many are having daffodils bloom, grass green and weather warm, we in the Northland are still very much in wintertime activities. Like making soup stock.

Sitting in front of a good fire, reading a book.

 

We are used to it. That doesn't mean that Minnesotans don't complain about the weather. We proudly let the world know it's cold, going to get colder. Then it's hot as blazes and will it ever stop/start raining. I have never complained much about winter, as least by Minnesota standards. Summer.....that's different. The last dozen years have become increasingly warm, but the worst of it is the humidity. It gets downright tropical. I never signed up for the tropics. Unfortunately, my opinion or want doesn't matter, it's happening. It will continue to happen, this seems evident. So, I go back to my motto, having the motto doesn't stop reality, it simply helps shield me from it. I'll eat the food. Drink the wine (or coffee). Pet the animals. Enjoy the beauty. Find a motto, repeat it like a mantra.
