More Weather
You'd think that life in Hamletissimo would have returned to normal but....streets still largely unplowed...I'm not complaining. Went on the most amazing walk on the trail outside my apt! Walking through a foot of snow is hard work!!! Took me about an hour to walk a mile. Might have been slightly more than a mile, but not MUCH more, that's for sure! I think I'd like to take up cross country skiing or snow shoeing or something like that! Hm...Too bad snow only hits el Hamleto about once a year.
What is it that makes the first snowfall so magical? I wonder that every year and never really come up with a satisfying answer. I never find the first heat wave magical. I never find the first rain of the season electrifying. Or the first fog. Or better yet, the first hail storm. But with snow, it's a whole other story. My heart melts when I see snow falling outside my window. Do I feel this way because I grew up on Pushkin's winter poems and fantasized about Pasternak's Winter Night (the only good things that came out of the dreadful Zhivago novel were Yuri Zhivago's poems, oh and perhaps Omar Sharif (sp?) as Zhivago -- whole other story though...)?
I'll keep pondering.
Made chicken soup yesterday afternoon.
Only 9 more days till Devil wears Prada!! The official count down is ON.
