First snow

 It snowed this morning in Cheshire.

First snow of the year.

Not much, just a dusting, nothing to measure.

But it means that winter is here.

I hate winter!

I love the rest of the year.

Spring, when things come to life.

Summer and the heat.

I love the heat.

People say, "hot enough for you?"

And I always answer, "no, not nearly!"

And fall, with cool nights, good for sleep, and warmer days, great to be outside.

But winter?

Not for me.

Bring it on.

I'll survive.
