Of gloves and snow shovels, winter's here
Thursday
November 13, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This morning the van was covered with frozen snow and I was forced to put on my gloves for the first time, knowing full well that each time I emerge from the house I will wear them until March or April brings some signs of spring. Less industrious than many of my neighbours I still haven't position the snow shovel near the door but this is yet another thing I will have to do. You see, no matter how much denial I indulge in winter is definitely here.
