Winter!
It’s a rainy day. The kind when everything’s wet. Fall leaves blown to mounds by diligent city workers have been reduced to a mushy lump. The lanes in expressways are hard to follow and cars are splashing on all sides as they pass. Everything around is slow, except the consistently dripping rain.
Winter’s officially here. It’s been here for a while now, but being the bay area residents we are, used to a much milder and late winter, it’s been a little hard for us to accept this natural truth.
It’s beautiful all around. The mountains are snowcapped and the stores have all been decorated. It almost seems like it all happened overnight, while everyone was asleep, Santa Claus came about, brought the snow and shiny ornaments.
It’s cold. Heaters are on full blast everywhere. Long coats and high boots are in. And umbrellas.
For the first time in my life, I am genuinely enjoying winter. Happy Holidays!
