winter again?

i’m sorry but what??  i walked out of the house today in flip flops (on my way to my semi-annual hair cut) to a raining downpour. i called my parents to complain about this extreme weather condition, and they proceed to tell me about a blizzard whiteout they were currently driving thru.  huh?  when did winter come?  i don’t understand why it has to come every year. can’t just one year we get a bonus like ‘hey!  78 degrees year round for the go-green efforts! keep up the good work!’

here’s to fireplaces, hot cider, friends & family that make winter endurable…and the random trips to the beach.

roads

one of my favorite poems
by robert frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
in leaves no feet had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference

may we be grateful for the road that has chosen us
