The man on the news said the temperatures are going up, but for now we’re still hiding mostly inside, under blankets, never without slippers.
Put on your mittens, where’s your hat, put your snow pants in your back pack.
These bundles of joy are always bundled.
Even the dog rushes back in like she’s being chased by backyard chickens, but she’s not because they are safe and warm in the garage coop. I’m pretty sure Elsie believes all chickens live in garages, even if we move them back and forth when the temperatures will let us.
My friends from warmer states wonder how we can survive this, and I don’t really know. It’s just what we do.
So much of what all of us everywhere do is just what we do. Until something changes, like the way spring sneaks in and reminds us what it feels like to get through. All this blanket piling and boot-reminding, shivering and rushing through snow to get inside will fade fast. OH thank God, we’ll say and go on about our spring things like it’s always been that way because it’s grace and so it has.

This is the 71st installment of Just Write, an exercise in free writing your ordinary and extraordinary moments. {Please see the details here.} I would love to read your freely written words so join me and link up below. You can add the url of your post at any time. Just be sure it’s a link to your Just Write post, not to your main page, and please don’t link to posts that are not freely written in the spirit of capturing moments–you know, don’t link to how-to lists or sponsored posts. I am far from a jerk, but I want people to remember that this is about writing and not about traffic. If you’re linking to everything you’ve found to link to that day, you probably are not fulfilling the requirements of each link-up. Also, please link back to this post in your post so people know where to go if they’d like to join in.
Also. Please take a moment to visit someone else who has linked up! It’s a really good way to meet new writers and get inspired by the meaning behind their moments. Word? Thank you!

Ha! I can relate to the cold temperatures, we live in Canada ;)
In our first winter here it was -35C and ever since then I have a different definition of cold.

I’m certainly in the “I don’t know how you do it” camp! ha!
But the blankets and warmth and all of that INSIDE sounds wonderful!

Yep! Ah-huh! And AMEN! You are preaching to the choir.
Spring can come ANY time now. :)
Stay warm!

Yes, we are bundled up here too but there’s something almost soothing about how cozy the house feels this time of year. I love the release of spring and warmth, but I also enjoy the bundling.

I’m in the other hemisphere, and we’ve been enjoying a fantastic summer (except for the drought). I’m just starting to feel the change in season which means that autumn is approaching, and I’m not looking forward to it! Hoping summer will stay for at least another month… although if autumn is coming to us, that must mean that spring is coming to you. There is hope, after all, that your bundles of joy will soon be able to be un-bundled!
