Sitting on my porch this unseasonably balmy day makes me long even more for the spring and summer. Autumn used to be my favorite season, with the beautiful fall colors, crisp scent in the air, and crunch of leaves underfoot, but now the falling leaves just reminds me that winter is about to come crashing in on the fun. I always have a hard time during the winter months. I'm forever hunching my shoulders to escape the cold wind and frigid temps, but this just adds to my tension that develops throughout this season at work. I miss digging in the dirt, running trails, sunshine that lasts past my kids' bedtime, relaxing on my porch, summer vacations, swimming in the neighbors' pool, sleeping with the windows open, waking to birdsong...which will surely come again. In the meantime, I am grateful to steal a little time on my porch with the sunshine and Puck, my feline friend, even though my fingers are numb from the cold on this unseasonably balmy day.
