We’ve been so preoccupied with all our holiday preparations,
it went unnoticed. Winter solstice slipped by about a week ago. That means
we’ve at least another 83 days of ice and snow ahead before the spring equinox.
Here are a few quotes to help us plow through:
"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that
it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a
white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes
again.’” – Lewis Carroll
“People don’t notice whether it’s spring or winter when they’re
happy.” – Anton Chekov
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,
for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for
home.” – Edith Sitwell
“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” – Hal Borland
“O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?” – Percy
Bysshe Shelley
