Gearing Up, Digging In
Yesterday meged335 and I went out in the snow to plant spring bulbs, so we will have something beautiful to look forward to when the warm weather rolls back around.
I find preparation for winter to be as much mental as physical -- once the novelty of the snow wears off, you need something to keep you going through the dark cold months. I always get a touch of seasonal depression in the early months of the new year, and it looks like winter got a head-start this time. I will be drinking lots of tea, wearing lots of warm socks, and repeating my mantra: "This too shall pass."
