The coldest part of winter



The weather guy from Channel 6 made mention the other day that we're entering the coldest part of winter. March seems so far away without the din of the holidays to distract me. Hearing that we will have highs in the single digits is just disheartening.

February by Dar Williams is a great song for this time of year. If you don't know the song, the above video features it. My favorite part of the song:

First we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year,
Then we forgot that we'd planted at all,
Then we forgot what plants are altogether,
and I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and
The nights were long and cold and scary,
Can we live through February?

This is a great song. I have a friend who says money has to be spent every February, on a wonderful trip - OR marital counselling. Our snow is deep and I can enjoy the seed catalogs and a vision of a perfect garden for quite a while more.
