A brand new month; a clean slate; a blank canvas on which to create any reality of my choosing. A new month heralding in a new season. Mother Nature attempted to show her support by choking up a few gratuitous snowflakes -- not enough to be declared the first snow or anything, but nonetheless, a showing.
Everywhere else in the country has had some snow -- the robust flavour that accumulates on the ground. Jealous! I find it hard to get in the festive season without the white stuff. But listen to me being so rude ... I didn't welcome our guest:
December, come on in! It's wonderful to see you again. You look like you are travelling light but I know you well enough to know that you no doubt have a few surprises in store. And although alot of Canadians like to talk about you behind your back, I can honestly say that I love you. You come bearing gifts and I kinda like that. You are also a big part of what makes us feel Canadian. So hang around ... at least until the end of the year.
Great! enjoy your December... our odometer has just rolled over to 200 000 km, by the way!! I was stupidly annoyed to have missed the actual event by a few km :)
