Today is the beginning of a new month, ushering in a new school term, colder weather, new challenges and new victories. I've always been a summer baby, but the last two year's I've noticed a decidedly new opinion emerging in me... I like winter. I like the wet, the crisp air, the fireplace, the books, the red noses and the fact that you have more sacred time at home. I also like the calmness that seems more evident this time of year. Plus, there's more time for poetry...
"Calm is the fragrant air...
Look for the stars, you'll say that there are none;
Look up for a second time, and, one by one,
You mark them twinkling out with silvery light,
And wonder how they could elude the sight!"
William Wordsworth
